Yield: 1 dozen
Ingredients
  • Bars:
  • raw sunflower seeds - 1 cup
  • unsweetened coconut flakes - 1 cup
  • coconut oil - ½ cup, melted
  • collagen peptides - ¾ cup
  • pure maple syrup - ¼ cup
  • salt - ½ teaspoon
  • vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
  • Coating:
  • coconut oil - ⅓ cup
  • raw cacao powder - ¼ cup
  • salt - dash
  • pure maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
  • vanilla extract - ¼ teaspoon
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine the sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, and coconut oil. Process until a smooth butter forms. This will take 5-10 minutes.
  2. Scrape the coconut sunbutter into a bowl and add the collagen peptides, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla. Mix well.
  3. Form the mixture into a ⅓ inch thick rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for a few minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, make the coating: to a small microwave-safe bowl, add all the coating ingredients. Microwave a few seconds, just until melted, and stir.
  5. Use a knife to cut the the sunbutter and coconut rectangle into bars. Then coat them in chocolate. I did this by spreading a thin layer of coating on a plate, then placing the bar on top and spooning the coating over the top of the bar to cover. Then transfer the bars back to the baking sheet and pour the rest of coating over them.
  6. Freeze just until set, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
