Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 16 medjool pitted dates
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Rip off a piece of parchment paper or wax paper and press it into a 8×8 pan, (Make sure it is big enough to later grip the paper and lift the bars out of the pan).
- Pour almonds, walnuts, cacao powder, and sea salt into food processor bowl. Process until nuts are finely chopped.
- Add in the pitted dates, and process/pulse until the mixture starts to stick together. Add in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until mixture has a sticky dough consistency.
- Remove the blade from the processor bowl, and transfer the mixture into a 8×8 baking pan covered with parchment or wax paper. Flatten mixture in the baking pan. (If mixture sticks to your hands, wet your fingers a little and continue pressing the mixture down flat.) Transfer baking pan to fridge for up to 30 minutes, or freezer for up to 15 minutes.
- Using the paper hanging over the edges of the pan, lift bar mixture out of the pan and transfer to a flat surface. Cut mixture into 12 square bars using a knife or pizza cutter.
- To store, layer bars with squares of wax or parchment paper so they won’t stick together. Store in an air-tight glass container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
You can also roll the mixture into balls. Follow the same instructions for how to store the balls.
