Ingredients
- 50g pecans
- 100g cashews
- 150g medjool dates
- 3-4 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, keep 1/2 tablespoon aside for the top
- 6 finely chopped dried unsulphured apricots
- Pinch salt
- Drizzle of plant milk, I used oat
Method
1 Place the pecans and cashews in the blender or processor first. Blend until fine, resembling flour.
2 Add the dates, cacao powder and salt and blend for a little until combined.
3 Remove mix and place in a bowl.
4 Add walnuts and apricots, combine. I use my hands for this part.
5 If the mix needs it, add some plant milk to get a nice cookie dough consistency. You may also need a touch more cacao powder. You should be able to roll out this mix.
6 Roll out onto baking parchment and cut into even bite sized squares.
7 Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, so they firm up.
Keeps for at least a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
