Instructions

  • Soak the dates in boiling hot water for at least 15 minutes, then drain on a sieve. See note 1
  • Place the soaked dates and raw cashews in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until mostly blended. You will still see tiny pieces of nuts which is fine.
  • Add coconut flour, maple syrup, vanilla and salt and process until a ball of smooth, sticky dough forms.
  • Add mini chocolate chips (if using) and pulse a few times. The chocolate chips are supposed to stay mostly whole so don’t overprocess. See note 2
