Ingredients
2
cups
raw cashews
1
cup
raw sunflower seeds
1
cup
finely shredded coconut
30
fresh mint leaves
1/3
cup
melted coconut oil
1/4
cup
honey or maple syrup
Instructions
In your food processor combine the cashews, sunflower seeds, coconut and mint leaves.
Process the ingredients until they are your desired texture (I still like to have some larger chunks).
Transfer the ingredients to a large bowl.
Add the coconut oil and honey and stir well to combine.
Transfer the ingredients to a 9" x 9" pan lined with parchment paper.
Press the ingredients down with a spoon to form a flat, even layer.
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Remove the pan from the freezer and cut the bars into desired sized pieces.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These bars are quite crumbly which is why I recommend storing them in the freezer.
