chewy granola bar recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
• 1/4 cup raw walnuts
• 1/4 cup raw pecans
• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Sea salt (optional)
• 1/4 cup goji berries
• 1 tablespoon warm water, if necessary

Topping:
• 2 oz (55 gm) 85% dark chocolate
• 1/4 cup your choice chopped nuts
• Sea salt flakes

Instructions

1. Into the bowl of a food processor, combine dates and nuts, and process until reasonably well combined but still chunky.
2. Add shredded coconut, chia seeds, cacao powder, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Process until mixture is chunky and starting to clump together. If mixture is too dry, add a couple tablespoons of warm water and process again.
3. Add in goji berries and pulse just a few times until combined. Into an 8×4 inch pan lined with parchment paper, pressing mixture evenly towards the edges of the pan.
4. Into a double boiler or glass bowl placed over pan with boiling water, melt the dark chocolate. Pour chocolate over the date/nut mixture, tilting the pan to enable the chocolate to cover surface. Top with your choice of chopped nuts and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
5. Place into freezer for about 30-60 minutes to harden. To serve, cut into squares.
