Cashew Macadamia and Coconut Bars
Makes 8 Bars
Ingredients:
-
1/4 c raw pumpkin seeds
-
1/4 c raw sunflower seeds
-
1/4 c raw cashews
-
1/4 c raw macadamia nuts
-
1/2 c coconut flour
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp sea salt
-
1/4 c + 2 tbs coconut manna, melted, Nutiva
-
1/4 cup raw, all-natural peanut butter (or any nut butter)
-
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
​
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the pumpkin and sunflower seeds in an even layer.
-
Roast in the oven for 5 -7 min. Reserve on the side.
-
Pulse cashews and macadamia nuts in a food processor into a fine powder consistency.
-
Add to a mixing bowl with coconut flower, cinnamon, and sea salt to combine.
-
Melt coconut manna and combine with peanut butter, and vanilla.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until all the dry ingredients become wet and a ball can be formed (Dough won't be super sticky and it may seem like its too dry but as long as a pretty solid ball can be formed it will work!).
-
Fold in about 1/2 cup of the roasted seeds (If there is extra that's fine sometimes I like to roast extra and save for other recipes or snacking).
-
Place a piece of parchment paper in an 8X8 " baking dish.
-
Press dough into pan, but leave some room around the edges (try and make all the same thickness).
-
Refrigerate for at least an hour.
-
Cut into 8 equal bars.
-
Store bars in an air-tight container, refrigerated, for up to a week.
