Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides to help lift the bars out later.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the raw cashews until they are coarsely chopped. Avoid over-processing to prevent them from turning into a paste.
Step 3
Add the pitted dates, almond butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor. Process until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats and unsweetened dried cranberries. Mix with a spatula or your hands until well combined.
Step 5
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to fill all corners, and packing it down with the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass.
Step 6
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 7
Once set, lift the slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.
Step 8
Store the Soy-Free Cashew Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
