Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Raisins
- 3/4 cup Coconut Flakes
- 2/3 cup Cashew Nuts
- 2 tablespoons Ground Flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: Add 2 cups of raisins, 3/4 cup coconut flakes, 2/3 cup cashew nuts, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is finely chopped but still retains some texture, ensuring a balanced consistency for the bars.
- Press into pan: Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Firmly press the processed mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the surface so the mixture is compact and uniform for easy cutting later.
- Refrigerate to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the bars to set and hold together. After chilling, cut into 6 equal bars and enjoy a nutrient-packed snack.
Notes
- Ensure not to over-process the mixture; some texture should remain for a pleasant chewiness.
- Use raw cashew nuts for the best flavor and nutrition.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These bars are naturally sweetened by the raisins; no additional sweeteners are necessary.
- Feel free to substitute cashews with almonds or walnuts if desired.
