Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
While the dates soak, add the raw almonds, raw walnuts, and shredded coconut to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse, sand-like texture.
Drain the soaked dates, then add them to the food processor along with the chia seeds, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Process the mixture until it forms a sticky, cohesive dough. Stop and scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
Press the date-nut mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan using your hands or the back of a spatula.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once chilled, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place the solidified mixture on a cutting board. Cut into 12 equal bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for longer storage.
