Ingredients
Scale
2 cups nuts of your choice (I used walnuts and almonds)
2 cups dried fruits (I used a cup of pitted dates and prunes each)
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoon cocoa powder
splash of vanilla extract
large pinch of flaky salt + more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the nuts, dried fruits, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and flaky salt. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, pressing it firmly into an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
- Once cool, lift out of the pan, cut into bars, and sprinkle with a little flaky salt on top if desired.
Notes
Feel free to customize your nuts and dried fruits according to your preferences. You can also add in some seeds for extra crunch.
