Ingredients

• 12 pieces Medjool dates
• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Cashews
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Dried figs
• 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

Remove pits from the Medjool dates and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them.

Step 3

Drain the dates and add them to a food processor along with almonds, cashews, rolled oats, and dried figs.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse texture and starts to combine, around 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, and salt to the processor and pulse again until everything is well combined and sticking together.

Step 6

Add vanilla extract and water. Pulse a few more times until the mixture is thoroughly combined and sticky. It should hold together when pressed between your fingers.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down with the back of a spoon or your hands to form an even layer. Ensure the mixture is compact to hold together once set.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up.

Step 9

Once firm, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and place them on a cutting board.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares or bars and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
