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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • 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.
  • Combine the toasted nuts and seeds, cooked quinoa, tahini, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
