How to Make Mo's Mock Lara Bars

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, 1/2 cup raw almonds, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons nut butter (almond or peanut), 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a food processor.
  2. Process until a sticky dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more dates for extra stickiness, or more nuts for a firmer texture.
  3. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the date mixture firmly into the dish.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
