Servings 8 bars
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups dates pitted + roughly chopped
- ½ cup almonds
- ½ cup cashews
- ¼ cup hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder + additional for sprinkling
- 2 tablespoon cacao nibs unsweetened (optional)
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Combine dates, almonds, cashews, hemp seeds, vanilla, + 2 teaspoon matcha powder in food processor and pulse until well-combined. Mixture should stick together like a dough when pressed. If mixture is falling a part, add a few more dates and process again until combined.
- Add cacao nibs and pulse just enough for cacao to be dispersed throughout.
- Line a small baking dish with parchment paper (so bars are easier to remove later) and add bars to dish. Use hands or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down until it is compact and smooth. Sprinkle coconut and additional matcha on top and press down with back of spoon.
- Place dish in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove bars from dish by pulling out parchment paper. Cut into bars + store in fridge for up to 1 week.
