Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
• 1/2 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw (unsweetened coconut flakes)
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 4 tablespoons hemp seeds
• 1/4 cup cooked quinoa
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup organic honey

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
2. Toast raw cashews, almonds, coconut flakes, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, and 3 tablespoons hemp seeds on a baking sheet for 8-12 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
3. Combine the toasted nuts and seeds, cooked quinoa, tahini, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
4. Heat honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan until boiling. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over the cashew/seed mixture and stir to coat.
5. Stir in the goji berries. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan using a greased measuring cup or wet hands. Sprinkle remaining 1 tbsp sesame and hemp seeds on top, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan, then lift out using the parchment paper. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container.

Notes

– Use raw, unsalted nuts and seeds for the best flavor and texture.
– Ensure the mixture is pressed very firmly into the pan for bars that hold their shape.
– For a chewier texture, reduce baking time slightly. For crispier bars, bake a few minutes longer.
– Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
