Description
These Dried Fruit and Nut Bars are a healthy, delicious snack packed with energy. Perfect for on-the-go munching, they combine crunchy nuts, sweet dried fruits, and a hint of cocoa for a delightful treat.
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
- If the mixture is too dry, pulse it again or add a few extra dates.
- Substitute other nuts or dried fruits according to your preference.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 weeks, checking freshness before eating.
