Raw Vanilla Energy Chunks

February 27, 2015

1/4 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight)
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, dates, figs, apricots, or mulberries.)
2-3 tablespoons coconut flour
 1 tablespoon liquid sweetener (I recommend raw honey, pure maple syrup, or coconut nectar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add your dried fruit of choice to a food processor and pulse until a paste forms. This may require up to a tablespoon of water added while pulsing.
Add all other ingredients except for the coconut flour and continue pulsing until well combined.
Slowly add in coconut flour while pulsing mixture until it starts to form a crumbly dough. You may not need the full 3 tablespoons of flour depending on your choice of sweetener and consistency of your dried fruit paste.
Remove dough form food processor and roll out on parchment paper or another non-stick surface. The dough should be a sheet about 1-2 inches thick. Cut into squares, or "chunks", and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
