Ingredients
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 cup dates
- 1 cup cashews or almonds, or a mix of both
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor. (You can also use a Vitamix blender with the tamper, only if you scale this recipe up to 2x or 3x so there is enough dough to catch onto the blades).
- Blitz until the dates and nuts are chopped up and starting to clump together into a dough.
- Tip the mixture out into a rectangular mold like a loaf pan or lunchbox. (If you are doubling up the recipe, a 8x8 pan is the perfect size.) Press the dough in evenly and firmly. Really pack it in as tight as you can so the bars will stay together once you cut them.
- Take a bench scraper or plastic knife and cut the dough into evenly-sized rectangular bars.

- You can use a mixture of other nuts too—pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, and hazelnuts all work—or try a nut-free version with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds).
