Description

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups dates, pitted + roughly chopped
• ½ cup almonds
• ½ cup cashews
• ¼ cup hemp seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla bean or pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp matcha powder + additional for sprinkling
• 2 tbsp cacao nibs unsweetened
• ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions

• Combine dates, almonds, cashews, hemp seeds, vanilla, + 2 tsp matcha powder in food processor and pulse until well-combined. Mixture should stick together like a dough when pressed. If mixture is falling a part, add a few more dates and process again until combined.
• Add cacao nibs and pulse just enough for cacao to be dispersed throughout.
• Line a small baking dish with parchment paper (so bars are easier to remove later) and add bars to dish. Use hands or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down until it is compact and smooth. Sprinkle coconut and additional matcha on top and press down with back of spoon.
• Place dish in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove bars from dish by pulling out parchment paper. Cut into bars + store in fridge for up to 1 week.
