Step 1

Line a 1-quart rectangular pan (about 7x4-inch) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Coarsely chop the almonds and pecans by pulsing in a food processor (about 40-50 pulses). Stir in coconut, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, syrup, and chocolate chips.

Step 3

Spread out into the prepared pan with a rubber spatula pressing the mixture down into the pan. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top and press them into the mixture.

Step 4

Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for at least an hour. Lift the parchment paper out of the pan. Cut the granola bars into six bars using a sharp knife.
