yummy!!!!

If I am going to be the number one Paleo Princess in this universe I have got to stop eating ice cream cones.  Seriously.  Walking around my apartment in my underwear and eating Nutella with my fingers is not Paleo Princess behavior and it must be stopped!!   I can give up cheese, bread, beans, or potatoes for the rest of my life and not care one bit but I just cannot live without at least one sweet a day.  In order to fix this I am trying to be better and have paleo sweets on hand just in case my sweet tooth kicks in.  So this is a recipe for paleo "granola" bars that is delish and has chocolate chips so it can satisfy a sweet craving.  enjoy:) 

yummy yummy!!! this batch has chopped dates and a chai tea bag

1.5 cups sliced almonds
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup pepitas chopped
1/2 cup almond flour
3 tbsp chia seeds
3/4 cup mini choc chips
1/3 cup chopped nuts (any kind)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Add water to chia seeds and let sit 5 minutes or so. Add other wet ingredients to this and mix well.
Then add all dry ingredients making sure it is evenly mixed. I like to add a handful of cranberries to mine and you can add whatever just make sure that the wet to dry ratio stays about like this. I worked hard to perfect this dang recipe!! Next spread on a cookie sheet over foil and bake for 20 minutes at 325. When you take them out of the oven squish them flat with a spatula and put in the fridge to cool. Cut into bars and enjoy:)
