Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they are slightly golden and fragrant.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove the skins as much as possible.
Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and pulse until they form a fine breadcrumb-like texture.
Add the dates, cacao powder, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the hazelnut mixture in the food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes a sticky dough.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the dough mixture into the dish. Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the dough, pressing lightly to adhere the coconut to the top.
Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is set and firm.
Once set, remove the dish from the freezer and use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars.
Store the Whole30 Nutella Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
