Ingredients
10datespitted
½craw cashews
½craw pecans
1/3cshredded coconut
1Tbscoconut 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!
