Recipe: Grain Free Baked Granola Bar (Gaps, Paleo, Egg Free)

• 1 cup almond flour (where to buy almond flour)
• 1 cup pecans chopped
• 1 cup coconut flakes (where to buy)
• 1 cup raisins chopped (organic)
• 1/2 cup cocoa nibs (where to buy)
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil (where to buy coconut oil)
• 1 Tbsp honey (optional) (where to buy)
• 1 tsp salt (where to buy)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (where to buy spices)
• 3 Tbsp gelatin mixed in 6 - 8 Tbsp water (where to buy)

1. In the food processor chop the pecans, coconut flakes and raisins, each separately and set aside in one bowl
2. You want small pieces, but larger than a meal consistency so chop for only a few seconds at a time on pulse
3. In the food processor place the almond flour, honey, salt , cinnamon, coconut oil and combine
4. Mix the 3 tablespoons of gelatin with 6 - 8 tablespoons of water, and quickly add to the processor and mix well (if you delay, the gelatin will firm up too much)
5. Add the bowl of chopped raisin, pecans and coconut flakes and add the cocoa nibs and mix just to combine (or you could do this in the bowl so it doesn't get chopped any smaller)
6. Place in a 9 x 13 baking pan that has been lightly oiled and smooth out
7. Take the spatula and press the mixture so that it is as dense as can be
8. Firm up the sides and flatten again
9. Bake at 250u0b0 F for 20 - 25 minutes or until it is slightly browned on top
10. Remove and let cool completely
11. Slice with a chef's knife into 12 bars
12. Wrap in wax paper and freeze or refrigerate for a quick snack on the go
