These are GOOD!” I looked at the ingredient list from my Coconut Date Rolls to help me cess out these bars because dates are the main binder in both! And we’re off! Here’s my inspiration! Cashews, almonds, dates, lemon. Grind up the almonds, cashews, dates & lemon zest. Your food processor is gonna work HARD. Take a taste of the mixture….then add in some lemon extract! Whirl it and then you’re done! Put the mixture in a parchment lined brownie pan. Press it evenly with your fingers. Unwrap & cut into quarters. You should be proud of yourself. You made your own energy bars! Just don’t wrap them up in foil. (makes 8-16 depending how how small you cut them!)
