Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Toast the Nuts and Seeds: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the chopped almonds, walnuts, and pecans on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the toasted nuts, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds.
  4. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the almond butter, coconut oil, and sugar-free maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Combine: Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well coated. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
  6. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly to ensure the bars hold together well.
  7. Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
  8. Cut and Store: Use the parchment overhang to lift the set mixture from the pan. Cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
