Ingredients

• 2 cups Raw cashews
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 12 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Add the raw cashews and rolled oats to a food processor. Pulse until they form a fine, sandy consistency.

Step 2

Add the pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor with the cashew-oat mixture.

Step 3

Blend until the mixture becomes a sticky dough. If necessary, scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 4

Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Transfer the dough into the pan and press it firmly into an even layer. Use your hands or the back of a spatula to smooth the surface.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once chilled, remove the pan from the refrigerator and lift the bars out using the edges of the parchment paper.

Step 7

Slice into 10 equal bars or your preferred size. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
