FRUIT & NUT SQUARES
Ingredients
Nuts & seeds of your choice, we used:
Walnuts
Cashews
Brazils
Almonds
Pecans
4 seed mix of golden linseed, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp.
Dried fruits of your choice, we used:
Prunes
Dates (pitted)
Apricots
Mango
Cranberries
Optional
Pinch of sea salt
Coconut oil
Method
We like to lightly toast the nuts, add the seeds a bit later, as they’ll cook more quickly. You could make these completely raw and skip this stage.
Add the fruit to a food blender, then add the nuts and seeds and blend. Not too finely. We added the melted coconut oil and pinch of salt.
Depending on the mix, it might by more crumbly or less, to make it more set/stick, you can add more dates, for example, or blend it for longer.
Roll out on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper to required thickness and then refrigerate.
After an hour or longer, remove from the fridge and slice into squares.
Another option is to drizzle melted chocolate over some and then refrigerate again. Or just have a square of (very dark) chocolate with it.
Enjoy anytime of day with tea or coffee :)
