Ingredients
Nuts & Seeds
- 1 cup cup Almond chopped, raw
- 1 cup cup Pistachio chopped, raw, shelled
- 1 cup cup Cashew chopped, raw
- 1 cup cup Walnut chopped, raw
- 2 tbsp Poppy Seed
- 2 tbsp Sesame Seed
Binder & Sweetener
- 1 ½ cups cup Medjool Date pitted; you can also use date paste for easier processing
- 2-4 tbsp Honey or maple syrup, to taste; adjust depending on date sweetness
Optional Additions
- 1 teaspoon tsp Vanilla Extract for enhanced flavor
- Pinch Sea Salt to balance sweetness
Instructions
Prepare the Nuts and Seeds
- Dry roast the poppy seeds and sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Combine Ingredients
- In a food processor, combine the pitted dates (or date paste). Process until a sticky paste forms. Add the chopped nuts, roasted seeds, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract and salt. Process until well combined but still slightly chunky.
Shape and Chill
- Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Transfer the nut mixture to the prepared dish. Press firmly and evenly into the dish to create an even layer.
Refrigerate and Cut
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once firm, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into desired sized bars.
Serve and Enjoy
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect No-Bake Nut Bars:
- Date Selection: Medjool dates are the sweetest and stickiest, making them ideal for this recipe. If using other dates, you may need to add more honey or maple syrup.
- Nut Variety: Feel free to experiment with different nuts and seeds! Pecans, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds would all be delicious additions.
- Texture Control: For a smoother bar, process the mixture for a longer time. For a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture briefly.
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and prevent them from becoming dry.
