Ingredients
- 200 grams raw cashews
- 150 grams pitted Medjool dates
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 30 grams chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, letting some of the paper hang over the edges for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the raw cashews and process them until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as it may turn into cashew butter.
Step 3
Add the pitted Medjool dates to the processor and blend until the dates are well incorporated with the cashews.
Step 4
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture in the food processor.
Step 5
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Add the melted coconut oil to the food processor.
Step 6
Process the mixture until it starts to come together into a sticky dough. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure even mixing.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use your hands or a spatula to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
Step 8
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to set.
Step 9
Once set, lift the cashew bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 10 even bars.
Step 10
Store the vegan cashew bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
