Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 10 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup Desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8 inch pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a food processor, blend the raw cashews until you achieve a coarse, sand-like texture. Avoid over-processing into a nut butter.
Add the pitted Medjool dates to the food processor with the cashews and pulse until the mixture starts to clump together.
Add the desiccated coconut, chia seeds, vanilla extract, sea salt, and water to the processor. Blend until the mixture is thoroughly combined and sticky.
Check the consistency by pressing some of the mixture between your fingers; it should hold together. If it's too crumbly, add more water, a teaspoon at a time.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use your hands or a spatula to press down firmly, ensuring the mixture is even and compact.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are firm.
Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into 8 even bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
