Jaboticaba Seed & Nut Bars

GF, DF, Nightshade free, Vegan.

Ingredients:

Method:

  • Line a 13x30 cm loaf tin with parchment paper
  • In a food processor, combine almonds, pepitas, pecans and coconut until finely chopped and crumbly. There should be no large chunks remaining, but be careful not to overblend
  • Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir through chia seeds and 3 tbsp of hot water; set aside
  • Now, using the food processor (no need to wash) blend the dates until finely chopped; add to the nut and seed mixture and combine
  • Add coconut oil, maple syrup, salt and dried fruit; mix thoroughly
  • Check the consistency of the mixture by taking a pinch and squeezing together; it should stick together and hold its shape. If the mixture is too crumbly, add another tbsp of hot water
  • Spoon the mixture into prepared loaf tin, spread out evenly and push down firmly with hands or the back of a spoon, making sure the top is even
  • Transfer to the fridge and leave to set for at least 1 hour
  • When firm, remove from the tin by carefully lifting the parchment and placing the nut and seed bar on a chopping board
  • With a sharp knife, cut into 14 even sized bars approx 4x6.5 cm
  • Keep in the fridge to store
