Instructions

Start with the Dates

Step 1

Remove any stems, stem bases, and pits. Then soak in water for about 10 minutes. Once soft and pliable put in a blender. Do not add water unless you absolutely have to and only add only as much as you have to. You want to keep this part sticky, it is the glue to the recipe. Pulse for about a few seconds. Scrape down the sides with a spatula or spoon and pulse again for a few more seconds. Repeat the process until you have a sticky glue-type substance. Put this in the Mixing bowl.

The Mix Dry + Wet

Step 2

Add Almond Flour, Almond Butter, divide the shredded coconut and put 1/3 (ish) in the bowl.

Step 3

Put the rest of the shredded coconut into a clean blender along with the hemp seed and flaxseed. Blend until you get a course flour texture. Add this to the mixture.

Mix it up

Step 4

Start mixing everything together. Using your hands may be the best option once you get going as this will be a thick mixture.

Roll it out

Step 5

Grab about a cookie tray worth of Wax Paper and roll out the mixture to about 1/2" thick for a meal replacement bar (10 Servings) or 1/4" (21 Servings). Use a rolling pin or your fingers to push out the mixture evenly in as rectangular of a shape as possible. If any sections are misshapen or too thin, just scrunch them back together. Try to make it as even as possible or tear off pieces to add to other sections. The goal is to get even bars.

Step 6

Cut the Bars into 10 equal pieces (or 21 for snack size). Then transfer the wax paper onto a cookie tray and into the refrigerator for about 1 hour. After you can package it as you like individually in foil or reuse the wax paper.
