Ingredients
- 200 grams raw cashews
- 120 ml pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 40 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams chopped dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a food processor, blend the raw cashews until they form a smooth cashew butter. This may take 5-7 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, sea salt, and coconut oil. Stir until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is well combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the maple syrup mixture into the food processor with the cashew butter. Blend until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Transfer the cashew mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips, folding gently until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Make sure it's packed down firmly to ensure it holds together.
Step 7
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm to the touch.
Step 8
Once chilled, lift out the block using the parchment paper and cut into 12 squares or bars.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
