Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cups Raw walnuts
- 0.5 cups Raw cashews
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates into a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds to 1 minute until they become sticky and form a rough paste.
Add the raw walnuts and raw cashews to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together but still has small chunks of nuts for texture.
Add the vanilla extract and sea salt, then process again until fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pinched between your fingers. If it's too crumbly, add 1-2 additional dates or a tiny splash of water and process again.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the mixture out of the dish. Cut into 8 equal bars or your desired portion size.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
