Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red beets (raw, chopped)
  • 1 1/4 cup dates (medjool, soft, pitted, if not soft, soak them in water first)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
  • 1/3 cup cashew butter (raw)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (raw, softened)
  • 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
  • 3 1/2 cups coconut flour (home-made, not the dry store bought stuff)
  • 2 cups coconut meat (young)
  • 1/4 cup coconut water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp coconut nectar (raw, or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter (raw, warmed to liquid)

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients but the psyllium husk and flour in a food processor. Process until smooth.
  2. Add the psyllium husk and the flour little by little until a soft dough is formed.
  3. From here you have two choices. You may either dehydrate them at 115F degrees for about 6-8 hours until more firm, or place them in the freezer for about an hour to firm up (the first choice makes for a more cakey bar, the refrigerator a fudgier bar). If you are dehydrating, shape the dough into an 8 inch square using a rolling pin and bench scrapers. If you are refrigerating, you may either do that, or press into an 8 inch square pan lined with foil or parchment.
  4. Combine all ingredients but the coconut butter and oil in a food processor and process until smooth.
  5. With the motor running, add the coconut butter and oil and process a minute more.
  6. Pour the cream into a bowl and let sit in the fridge until the consistency of whipped cream. Place in the refrigerator while you wait for the bars.
