Crust
- 1 1/4 cup finely ground organic walnuts
- 3 tbs. organic ground flax meal
- 1 tablespoon Organic butter flavored coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp organic ground cinnamon
Mix all ingredients together well, especially paying attention to the coconut butter so there are no chunks. Pat down firmly into a square baking dish. (I used the Pampered Chef stone, square pan). You can use a piece of parchment paper to pat down the crust.
Filling
- 2 cups grated zucchini (squeeze some of the liquid out).
- 8 organic dates no pits!
- 1/2 cup finely ground organic raw pecans
- 1/2 cup finely ground raw organic pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic cinnamon
- 3 tbs. raw organic almond butter
- 1 cup chopped dried apricots (my favorite Made in Nature).
- 1 vanilla bean (slit the bean down the middle and scrape out the black seeds).
- 1 tsp Simply Organic lemon flavor
Grind up the dates to make a paste. Mix in lemon flavor. Add all the rest of the ingredients. Spread on top of the crust in the square baking pan. Keep these bars in the freezer.
They will cut better and will never freeze solid because of all the nut oils.
