Ingredients
12 Pitted Medjool Dates
2 cups nuts, whole, chopped, or ground.
1 cup of dried fruit of choice
1 -2 cups shredded coconut,
Spices, citrus zest, or chocolate
Make it
1
Place all of the ingredients into a work bowl of a food processor in the order listed. (You’ll need at least a 7-cup capacity for this recipe to work. Feel free to halve the recipe if you need to.)
2
Start pulsing. The mixture will go through a dry, minced stage, and then gradually moisten as the dates are incorporated and the nuts release some of their oils.
3
Keep pulsing until the mixture resembles clumpy wet sand and will stick together when pinched.
4
Roll into 1-inch balls or press into a standard bread pan lined with plastic wrap. See step below for bars
5
Cut them into bars, then lift them out using the plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
