Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup (130 g) sunflower seeds
• 1 and ½ packed cups (200 g) whole dates

• 3 packed cups (400 g) whole dates

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 (180 Celsius) and line a springform or a pie pan with parchment (skip this step if making the no bake version).
• Combine the sunflower seeds, dates and vanilla in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles wet crumbs and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
• Press the crumbs into the prepared pan using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes if making the baked version.
• You can also bake it together with the filling of choice of fill the crust with a no-bake filling after it’s baked and cooled.
• Or keep it raw and top or fill with whatever you like. I just like to throw some fresh fruit on and top with coconut whipped cream :)
