Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cups Raw walnuts
- 0.5 cups Raw cashews
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the pitted Medjool dates into a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds to 1 minute until they become sticky and form a rough paste.
Step 2
Add the raw walnuts and raw cashews to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together but still has small chunks of nuts for texture.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and sea salt, then process again until fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pinched between your fingers. If it's too crumbly, add 1-2 additional dates or a tiny splash of water and process again.
Step 4
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 7
Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the mixture out of the dish. Cut into 8 equal bars or your desired portion size.
Step 8
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
