Nutty Espresso Bars [Whole30]
From: Jessica Scully @ www.paleoscaleo.com/nutty-espresso-bars/
These date bars are the bomb. They’re easy, ready in 5 minutes, require no cooking, are full of healthy nuts, and taste like coffee. What more could you want, really?
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Makes: 8 bars
Ingredients
1 cup almonds
1 cup walnuts
2 1/2 cups pitted deglet noor dates
2 Tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 Tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse 2-3 times to break up a bit.
Add the walnuts to the almonds and pulse 3-4 times more.
Add the dates, espresso powder, and 1 tablespoon of the water, then pulse repeatedly until the mixture begins to come together.
If it isn't coming together, add the second tablespoon of water and pulse a few more times.
Once you have a sticky "ball", stop.
This is where you want it! (If you over combine, they will get too sticky and will be a mess to eat.)
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and add the date mixture to the pan.
Using a second sheet of parchment paper, press the mixture evenly throughout the pan, smoothing out the top.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.
Store in a tupperware in the fridge with parchment paper in between.
