After making the modified recipe of Coconut Butter Bars, I decided to try one with almond and no chocolate since I’m not the biggest chocolate lover (blasphemy, I know). They turned out better than the chocolate ones (even Ray thought so)…enjoy:

2 TBSP Coconut Butter (Artisana - you can find it at Whole Foods, and should, it’s amazing)
2 TBSP shredded unsweetened coconut (buy the bulk stuff from Whole Foods)
1/4 sliced almonds
3/4 tsp agave nectar
3/4 tsp almond extract
3/4 tsp coconut oil (melted)

Throw the ingredients into a food processor and process until the mixture looks like you can form it. Roll into 4 balls, then sprinkle on more shredded coconut. Plate, cover and freeze for about 10 minutes (don’t leave them in the freezer though). I pulled them out and let them sit for a few minutes before eating just to let them thaw a bit.

PS…the amounts of the agave, extract and oil are approximate, I never measure and just started pouring in…but it should be pretty close
