Ingredients
- • raw cashews: 1 cup
- • dried mango slices: 1/2 cup
- • medjool dates, pitted: 8
- • rolled oats: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon, melted
Instructions
- 1 Begin by soaking the dried mango slices in warm water for about 10 minutes to rehydrate them. Drain and pat dry.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the cashews, rolled oats, and shredded coconut. Pulse until the mixture becomes a coarse meal.
- 3 Add the rehydrated mango slices, pitted dates, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is sticky and well combined.
- 4 Gradually add the melted coconut oil while pulsing the mixture, ensuring it binds together to form a cohesive dough.
- 5 Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish using the back of a spoon or your hands.
- 6 Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. Once set, cut into 8 equal bars and serve.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Exotic Spiced Mango Cashew Bliss Bars are best enjoyed chilled, making them a refreshing treat during warm weather. Pair them with a cup of herbal tea, such as chamomile or ginger, to complement their spicy undertones. For a nutritious boost, serve alongside a bowl of fresh fruit salad, featuring kiwi and pineapple for a vibrant tropical platter. Garnish the bars with a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut or a drizzle of dark chocolate for an added touch of elegance. These bars also make a delightful addition to a healthy brunch spread or as a satisfying snack for an afternoon energy boost.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For extended storage, freeze the bars for up to three months. Simply place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving to maintain their delicious texture and flavor.
