Ingredients List

Serves 1
  • 1 cup cashew nuts
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tbs pumpkin pie spice can use ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Metric - US Imperial

Instructions

  1. Combine all your ingredients in a blender or food processor
  2. Blend until your desired texture has been reached
  3. If it’s too runny, add a couple more cashews; if it’s too dry, add a few more dates
  4. Once your mixture is all ground up, line a baking pan with parchment paper and scoop the mixture in and press it down and into the sides
  5. Leave it to set into the fridge (at least an hour) and then cut into bars

If not using medjool dates, it’s a good idea to soak the dates and raisins in water for around 5 minutes prior to making the bars.
