Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw buckwheat
  • 1 cup raw or roasted pistachios (if using raw, add 1/2 teaspoon salt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup cocoa nibs
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon creamy almond butter (divided)
  • 1 cup honey (use maple syrup if vegan)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with coconut or olive oil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the buckwheat, pistachios, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, chia seeds, cocoa nibs, and hemp seeds. Add salt if using raw pistachios.
  • In a large pot, melt together 1 cup almond butter, honey, and coconut sugar over medium heat. Stir until smooth and bubbling. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  • Quickly stir the seed and nut mixture into the warm almond butter mixture until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Melt the remaining 1 heaping tablespoon of almond butter with a small amount of melted dark chocolate (optional, for topping) in the microwave or over low heat until smooth. Pour and spread this chocolate layer evenly over the pressed bars.
  • Sprinkle with extra cocoa nibs if desired, then cover the dish and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm. Cut into bars and store in the fridge.
