Non-Grain Bars!

 (They don't look quite as perfect as could be, but they sure taste great!)
Kellogg's Nutri-grain bars are known as a "healthy" snack on the go!  Well, if you consider soy, corn syrup, corn starch, and enriched flours healthy, then yes they are!  I, on the other hand, prefer to feed my family more nutritious snacks (that way we save our "treats" for the good stuff)!  I found these on a site called against all grain, a new favorite of mine!

3/4 cup blanched almond flour (whole foods, valley natural, target)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 T MILA chia seed
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/4 cup coconut oil (not melted-room temp.)
1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup (I used honey this time)
2 organic eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup berry preserves (I used raspberry with NO added sweetener-or make your own)
water to seal

1.  Warm the preserves in a saucepan on low heat while you are preparing the dough.
2.  Combine oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla and mix on medium with a hand mixer for 30 seconds.
3.  Slowly, add the dry ingredients and continue mixing until well combined.
4.  Using your hands, separate the dough into two ball and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
5.  Remove preserves from heat and allow to cool.
6.  Remove one dough ball and place between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out.
7.  Using a pizza cutter/knife, cut the dough into rectangular pieces and place on parchment paper covered cookie sheet (this step was time consuming and tricky for me, use a spatula and work carefully).
8.  Place 1-2 Tbsp. preserves on each spreading out leaving the edges open.
9.  Take the other half of dough and repeat cut pieces and place on top of the preserves.
10.  Use the water to dip your fingers and seal the edges.
11. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.

I placed each one in a bag for easy-on the go snacks full of protein and a bit of natural sugar from the fruit!  Oh, and we snacked on a few just so we had a good idea of how tasty they are!!
