Tip for keeping these excellent bars from being too crumbly: Add a ripe banana when mixing the ingredients, and these bars will hold together much, much better than without the banana.

Hi – I saw someone was asking for a blender recommendation & the blog author said she knew vitamix was good, but I see this recipe really works better with a food processor. So listen! If you are in a town with a craigslist.com page, then just cruise daily for the appliance of your choice. Lots of people are given fancy appliances for weddings, for example, & never use them. Or they go thru a phase of cooking enthusiasm & then it fades. Just today I picked up a $170 Cuisinart food processor for $65. Last year I got a brand new ice cream maker (unused wedding present.) With some patience & attention to craigs list, you can get a good appliance, you can get a deal, & you can re-use.

Quote: “I started with raw nuts, as toasting nuts is supposed to remove enzyme inhibitors in nuts and I hoped that they would be toasted enough to accomplish the job.”

Toasted enough?? So, I have the raw nuts and I should toast them myself?

I am so excited to have found your site!! I am new to the coconut oil world and my research has led me to you!! I am severely hypoglycemic and it is so hard to purchase items that are not processed and full of “junk”. This recipe is so exciting…I cannot wait to make this! I just need to know if I can grind raw or toast them first. Thank you Kimiharris! I WILL be a regular visitor!

Thanks Meg, for letting me know that your substitution worked well! Brown rice syrup, great idea.

Okay… so I made these, and… you were right. They’re gone.

I was running low on honey and so I subbed brown rice syrup (has a lower GI anyway – yay for less sugar for kids! ) instead. They turned out ABSOLUTELY delicious… and I was a little worried they wouldn’t be “sweet” enough… um, yeah…

Like I said… ALL GONE! Thanks Kimi!

Thank you for helping me with that misconception. I have believed that for years. I may never be able to eat a pumpkin seed though. But at least I may be able to if it is in something else, like these wonderful bars of yours.

I just popped some of these in oven to bake. They will make a great portable snack to take to the homeschool convention I am attending tomorrow. I have really enjoyed the recipes you post.

Ok, I have a really dumb question. I’m really confused about nuts. The roasted, salted ones are bad, right? So we are supposed to buy raw and then toast them ourselves, right? But how is that different from the roasted ones they sale. Does toasting them yourself take place of soaking and dehydrating? Also, I read that the best kind of nuts are once that still have the shell on them and are kept refrigerated at the store. I’ve never seen nuts at any store refrigerated. Have you ever heard this? Thanks so much for your time.
