Servings: 8 people
Calories: 209kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups medjool dates pitted
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds hulled, optional
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and puree on high setting, stopping periodically to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
- The mixture should ball up. If the mixture is not forming a ball, add an additional 1 tablespoon to 3 tablespoons water, a bit at a time. Once pureed, remove the mixture from the blender or food processor and place in the center of a sheet of wax paper. Form a ball and refrigerate overnight, for about 8 hours or more.
- Remove from the fridge and flatten between two sheets of wax paper into a square. Cut into bars.
- Note that it is helpful to put the bars in the wax paper into an 8 x 8" baking pan and then flatten into a square with your hands.
