Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some edges to hang over.

  4. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy cashew butter, maple syrup, Medjool dates, and vanilla extract.
  5. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.
  6. Press into the Pan: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and press it down firmly.
  7. Bake: Pop the pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
  8. Let It Cool: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out to cool completely.
  9. Drizzle the White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate with coconut oil in the microwave and drizzle over the cooled bars.
  10. Slice and Serve: Slice the bars into squares or rectangles and garnish with extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
