If you are from the midwest, then you know what I am talking about! It\u2019s been a family favorite since I can remember. When I started the Paleo diet, I wasn\u2019t sure how I was going to get my fix, but I figured it out. After finding Lovebird cereal (super clean Paleo and AIP approved) I had an idea. I decided to crush the cereal so it was smaller to get that \u201crice-like\u201d texture. (You will want to get the&nbsp;<em>Unsweetened<\/em>&nbsp;kind since we will be adding honey to sweeten the bars.) Then, it was a matter of swapping out the rest of the ingredients for cleaner alternatives. Once you make these, you won\u2019t be able to stop! They are so delicious and no one can tell they are Paleo friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients you&#8217;ll need for scotcheroos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\">\n<li><strong>Coconut Oil<\/strong>: Feel free to use refined or unrefined coconut oil. Unrefined will have a bit of a coconut taste, so if you do not like that, go with refined. You could also sub butter or ghee here, but make sure it is room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coconut Sugar<\/strong>: Use any sugar you like in these, but I highly recommend using coconut sugar. It has less of a glycemic index than white or brown sugar so it is not as impactful on your blood sugar levels. This is why it is accepted on the Paleo diet. Another bonus of coconut sugar is its notes of molasses. This mixed with the rich almond butter is a match made in heaven. Throw in some chocolate chips and it\u2019s sooooo comforting! If you would prefer to stay away from sugar completely, this recipe will work with monk fruit sweetener.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>: This helps the cookies rise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An Egg<\/strong>: The egg helps hold the dough together. If you do not consume eggs, you can substitute with a flax or chia egg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almond Butter<\/strong>: The key ingredient in this recipe is natural almond butter, with just almonds (and salt if you like). I know, I know, mixing the separated oil and butter together is one of the messiest jobs you can do, but I promise It is so worth it! The almond butter gives these cookies a rich flavor and that decadent chewy texture just like the real thing. You will not miss the gluten chocolate chip cookies after you taste these.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>: Vanilla will add that lovely hint of flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coconut Flour<\/strong>: I use a small amount of coconut flour to help thicken the dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almond Flour<\/strong>: The bulk of the dough will be almond flour for this cookie recipe. It is a staple in any Paleo diet. Be sure to buy blanched almond flour and not almond meal.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips<\/strong>: Try subbing the chocolate chips for chocolate chunks for a more indulgent cookie, or a mixture of both! I personally love\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hukitchen.com\/products\/no-added-sugar-baking-chips?variant=39492348215369\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hu No Added Sugar Keto Baking Chips<\/a>\u00a0since they are sweetened with dates. You could also use one of their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hukitchen.com\/products\/hu-hu-chocolate-variety-pack?variant=31667897368649\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bars<\/a>\u00a0(sweetened with coconut sugar) which are to die for.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lilys.com\/products\/lilys-dark-chocolate-style-baking-chips-9-oz-bag.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lily\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0is another great option if you prefer to stay away from sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Walnuts<\/strong>: As far as nuts go, I personally like adding walnuts, but you could definitely swap them for macadamias or pecans. Be sure to give them a rough chop so they combine well with the dough. Or, go for a classic cookie and omit them completely!\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flaked Sea Salt<\/strong>: Flaky sea salt for topping is a must in my opinion. Sweet and salty is my favorite flavor combination and the salt just takes it up a notch. I wouldn\u2019t say these are for adults only, but the salt adds a sophisticated touch.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/maldonsalt.com\/us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maldon<\/a>\u00a0is my absolute favorite flaked salt!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-4986\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\"
