Ingredients
- 3/4 cups cashews chopped roughly
- 3/4 cups almonds Chopped roughly
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup dried fruit
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 5-6 tablespoons maple syrup * See notes
- 1/4 cup coconut butter optional
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cashews, almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt, and dried fruit, and mix well.
- Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup and mix well. If the mixture is too thin/crumbly, add a little extra maple syrup.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined pan and press firmly into place. Refrigerate until firm. Once firm, drizzle with optional coconut butter before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Adjust liquids: Start with 5 tablespoons and if needed, add an extra tablespoon.
- Nuts: These are my preferred nuts. Pecans, walnuts, and peanuts all work.
- Dried fruit: Any chopped dried fruit of choice. I like raisins and unsweetened cranberries.
