Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 0.5 cup Dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates and pulse until they form a sticky paste.

Step 3

Add the raw almonds and raw cashews to the food processor and pulse until they are roughly chopped and incorporated into the date paste.

Step 4

Add the chopped dried apricots, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt to the food processor.

Step 5

Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and begin to clump together. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing down firmly into an even layer using your hands or the back of a spatula.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
