Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw cashews
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Add the raw cashews and rolled oats to a food processor. Pulse until they form a fine, sandy consistency.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor with the cashew-oat mixture.
Blend until the mixture becomes a sticky dough. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is well combined.
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Transfer the dough into the pan and press it firmly into an even layer. Use your hands or the back of a spatula to smooth the surface.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up.
Once chilled, remove the pan from the refrigerator and lift the bars out using the edges of the parchment paper.
Slice into 10 equal bars or your preferred size. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
