Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups raw almonds
  • 1 cup (6 oz. bag) dried apricots
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1-2 tbsp water (if needed – add 1 tbsp. at a time)

Method
 

  1. Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor except for the water.
  2. Process on low speed for several minutes, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed, until ingredients start to come together.
  3. If the mixture seems too dry, add 1 Tbsp. of water at a time and continue processing until it sticks together.
  4. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and press down firmly into the bottom. Top with coconut shreds, pressing them lightly into the surface.
  5. Chill the bars in the fridge for 30 minutes or freezer for 10 minutes until firm.
  6. Remove bars from the pan and cut into 8 bars or squares. Store bars in the refrigerator.

Notes

- For best results, ensure your dried apricots are soft and pliable. If they are very dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing.
- Press the mixture into the pan very firmly to ensure the bars hold together well once chilled.
- Store these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
