1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup packed, pitted Medjool dates, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons agave
1/4 cup raw walnuts, peanuts or pecans, crushed

2. Add dates and agave and mix well.
3. Add crushed walnuts and mix.
4. Line a loaf or square pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
5. Press mixture into bottom of pan and press on top.

Quick tip:
You can coat your hands with a little coconut oil or water to stop the batter from sticking to your hands.

These keep refrigerated at least 2 weeks.
