Ingredients

  • 10 dates pitted
  • ½ c raw cashews
  • ½ c raw pecans
  • 1/3 c shredded coconut
  • 1 Tbs coconut oil

Instructions

  • Pulse cashews and pecans in a blender until they turn into an almost floury texture – some chunks are fine! Pour them into a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the dates to the now empty blender or food processor and pulse until they form a doughy paste.
  • Add the nuts back to the blender with the dates, shredded coconut, and coconut oil. Pulse until combined. (If you don’t have a high speed blender, pulse until mostly combined, then pour into a bowl and mix well).
  • Dump mixture into a shallow, parchment- lined 8×8 dish, and press the dough down until an even layer reaches all the corners.
  • Let sit in the fridge for an hour, then cut into squares. Serve cold. Enjoy!
