Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 cup whole raw almonds

  • 10 pitted and chopped Medjool dates

  • ¾ cup shredded carrots

  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • ¼ cup dried pineapple pieces

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

  • 1 tablespoon almond butter

  • ½ teaspoon coconut extract

  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper.

  2. Combine almonds, dates, carrots, coconut, pineapple pieces, protein powder, almond butter, coconut extract, almond extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a food processor fitted with the S blade. Attach the lid and pulse, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed, until everything is well combined and a crumbly, yet easily moldable, soft dough forms.

  3. Transfer dough to the prepared dish and press it down and smooth it out evenly.

  4. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 1 to 2 hours. Cut into 12 bars and either serve immediately or wrap individually to serve later.
