If you need a new homemade breakfast or snack in your life, these homemade cranberry bars are a great recipe to make.
Ingredients
- 100 g nuts (I used almonds and cashews)
- 250 g Medjool dates
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- A pinch of salt
- 75 g dried cranberries
- 30 g pumpkin seeds
- 50 g dark chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the nuts and pulse them for few seconds.
- Remove the pits from the dates and add them in the processor, along with the cocoa powder, salt and peanut butter and blend until everything is well combined.
- The consistency of the mixture must be sticky, if not add a splash of water and blend again.
- Then add the cranberries and pumpkin seeds and pulse for a couple of seconds to mix them in.
- Spread the mixture in a rectangle sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
- Use the back of a glass to press it into an even layer and add it in the fridge to set for a bit.
- Remove from the tray and cut into 8 pieces.
- Optionally, you can melt the dark chocolate and drizzle on top on the bars.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
