Recipe: No-bake choc , cashew, coconut snack bars

September 4, 2016 by Shari 10 Comments

I tell you what really appeals to me at the moment – a ‘no-bake’ recipe. Simple cooking is what I am all about – and if a little set of hands can help out, then that’s all the better. I’d been playing around with a few ‘no-bake’ recipes, but then I thought that I would try and match the flavour profile of Two Clean Kids choc banana bread topped with cashew butter and fresh strawberries {which I am still slightly obsessed with} and I had a winner.

NO-BAKE CHOC CASHEW COCONUT SNACK BARS

2 cups pitted dates
3/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup nut butter (I used natural cashew butter)
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup of LSA
2 tbsps cocoa powder
1 tbsp of tahini
1 pinch salt

Toss everything into a food processor and process until the mixture starts to go smooth and clump into a ball. The dates will be all chopped up but you’ll still have bits of nut.

Turn the mixture out into an 8 or 9 inch square dish lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the dish. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove the bars from the pan and cut into pieces using a sharp knife. Enjoy these bars cold or frozen. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
