Coconut Nola Bars - 122 calories each!!!

These came out fantastical!!!! And Casey asked me to make them again...so that's always a good sign that they were yummy! Real easy to make, although I think next time I'll just roll them into balls. 

This recipe made 12 squares & the info reflected below is based off of one square/serving. 

Ingredients:

15 dates

1/2 cup almonds

1/2 cup cashews

3/4 cup shredded *UNSWEETENED* coconut 

2 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp water

In a food processor, you're going to blend the almonds, cashews & coconut flakes first. Once that has been blended, you're going to add the dates, coconut oil & water & blend some more.

Once everything has been mixed, you're going to line a 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper (although I used wax paper). Add the mix & spread evenly. I then cover the mixture with the paper that's hanging over & push down to get it nice & tight. Refrigerate for a little bit, then remove the mixture by the parchment paper & cutting into squares. I don't have a pizza slicer (you'd think I would though with the kitchen full of accessories that I have! lol) so the edges were kinda wonky, but still yummy!
