Ingredients

• 2 cups raw hazelnuts
• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
• 1 cup raw cacao powder
• 1 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they are slightly golden and fragrant.

Step 3

Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove the skins as much as possible.

Step 4

Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and pulse until they form a fine breadcrumb-like texture.

Step 5

Add the dates, cacao powder, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the hazelnut mixture in the food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes a sticky dough.

Step 6

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the dough mixture into the dish. Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the dough, pressing lightly to adhere the coconut to the top.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is set and firm.

Step 9

Once set, remove the dish from the freezer and use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars.

Step 10

Store the Whole30 Nutella Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
