Homemade Nut Bars
Adapted from The Elliot Homestead


Ingredients
1/2 cup organic almonds (find real raw almonds here)
1/2 cup organic walnuts
13 dates, pits removed and chopped (a little more than a cup)
3/4 cup shredded coconut (I use this kind)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (I use this kind)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


Add the almonds and walnuts to a food processor and blend until you have a fine, flour texture. Next add the dates, shredded coconut, coconut oil, cinnamon and nutmeg. The coconut oil should be soft. If it is really hard melt it before adding. Blend until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
Put the mixture in a square or rectangular glass dish. Use the back of a spoon to push on it and pack it in tight.
Place it in the refrigerator to set for at least an hour.
Slice it into squares or bars and serve or store for later. I store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.
