Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a food processor, combine dates, almonds, cashews, coconut, cacao powder, chia seeds (if using), and sea salt. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add coconut oil and vanilla. Blend until the mixture starts to clump together and is sticky enough to press into a bar. (If too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of water and blend again.)
- Press and Chill: Line a loaf pan or small square dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top and gently press it in.
- Chill and Slice: Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until firm. Lift out and cut into bars or squares. Store in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Swap nuts with seeds (like sunflower or pumpkin) for a nut-free version.
- Use cacao nibs for crunch or add mini chocolate chips for a sweeter bar.
- Keeps well in the fridge up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
