Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw whole cashews
  • 1 cup raw whole almonds
  • 10 pitted soft Medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons cashew or almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place almonds and cashews in a food processor and pulse several times until pieces are in halves or thirds (do not over-pulse). Add almond and cashew pieces to a large bowl.

  3. Place dates in food processor and pulse into small pieces. Add chopped dates to almonds and cashews.

  4. Add coconut flakes, pepitas, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside.

  5. In a small bowl, combine melted coconut oil, cashew butter, and maple syrup. Pour over dry ingredients and stir to coat evenly (sometimes I use my hands here to ensure everything is well-distributed).
  6. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until lightly brown, taking it out to stir around every 5-10 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan until cool, about an hour.
