Ingredients: 30 dried figs, stems removed; 5 dried dates, pitted; 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly shopped; 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, plus additional for rolling; 3 tablespoons whole grain oats; 3 tablespoons smooth almond butter; 2 teaspoons dairy-free dark chocolate chips; 1 teaspoon ground flax seeds; 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; dash of salt

Servings: persons

1
Line a 9x9 baking pan or loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing enough for overhang on the two larger sides. Set aside.
2
Using a kitchen mixer, such as a Cusinart fitted with a blade attachment, add the figs, dates, walnuts, 2 tablespoons coconut, oats, almond butter, chocolate chips, flax feeds, vanilla extract and salt. Mix on high for 1-2 minutes until well blended. The mixture should resemble coarse sand as shown in the photo above.
3
Place the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a small glass or jar, press the mixture firmly and evenly making it as flat and uniform as possible.
4
Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
5
To finish the power bites, place about 1/2 cup of shredded coconut on a small plate and set aside.
6
Gently lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Using a slicer knife, cut into small, 1-inch squares. Roll the bites in shredded coconut evenly to coat.
7
Store the power bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep fresh for up tp two weeks.
