Yield: 16 squares
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1.5 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup hemp seeds
- ¼ cup Tejari Organic Apple + Greens Blend
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 8 dates, pitted and chopped
- ¾ cup cashew butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
HEALTHY ICING:
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, softened
- 1 tbsp Tejari Organic Apple + Greens Blend
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
- Chia seeds
- Hemp seeds
- Unsweetened coconut
- Chopped pistachios
- Dried rose petals
DIRECTIONS:
- Fit an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper so that the paper hangs over the sides. Set aside until ready to use.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor in the order listed. Process until a smooth, malleable dough forms. You’re looking for the texture of cookie dough!
- Press dough into prepared pan to create a smooth surface that goes from edge to edge.
- Next, make your icing by mixing together the softened coconut oil and Tejari in a small bowl. It should be a consistency where you can drizzle it.
- Drizzle icing over the top of pan then sprinkle on any toppings you are using.
- Transfer baking dish to the fridge to firm up, about 30 minutes.
- Once firm, carefully lift out of pan using parchment, then slice into 16 squares, roughly 2x2” each.
- Store in the fridge for two weeks or transfer to the freezer and thaw before enjoying.
