Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the cashews, oats, and chia seeds. Pulse until the mixture reaches a coarse flour-like consistency.
Step 3
Add the pitted dates, vanilla protein powder, honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the processor.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until it starts to clump together. If the mixture is too dry, add additional almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula or by pressing firmly with your hands.
Step 6
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Step 7
Lift the set mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 12 bars.
Step 8
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
