Pump up your healthy fats with this no bake treat! My favorite way to enjoy them is 1 minute out of the freezer as a super chewy and satisfying snack. Inspired by my Original Granola Cakes
Place cashews and coconut oil in the bowl of a processor and process until smooth. It will take about 6-8 minutes and you’ll have to scrape down the bowl a couple of times.
Meanwhile, combine dried fruit, chia seed, coconut, and quinoa flakes in a large bowl.
Once cashew butter is complete, add raspberry jam, vanilla, and lemon rind. Pulse to combine.
Drop cashew mixture into dried fruit + nut bowl and stir until combined.
Spoon mixture into large muffin liners or a muffin tin, pressing down firmly on each one, flattening with hands.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
You can use any dried fruit you have handy. My dried fruit choices were: ¼ cup mulberries, ¼ cup dried pears [diced], ¼ cup dried cherries.
Feel free to use any type of raspberry jam you have handy. I like fruit juice sweetened opposed to corn syrup or cane sugar sweetened as it has a bit less sugar.
