Ingredients

200 g cashew nuts
200 g desiccated coconut
150 g dried apricots
juice of 1 large orange approx. 80ml, plus zest to taste

Instructions

Line the base and sides of an 18cm square brownie tin with non-stick baking paper.
Place the cashew nuts in a food processor and blitz for 30 seconds until ground. Add the coconut and apricots and pulse until the apricots are finely chopped. Add the orange juice, and blitz again until the mix forms a ball,this usually takes 1 minute or so. Taste, and add zest to preference.
Firmly press the mixture into the brownie tin with the back of a spoon.
Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or until firm enough to cut. Slice into 25 squares. Too impatient? Pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes before cutting with a sharp knife.

Notes

STORAGE: These will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or you can freeze the sliced squares between pieces of non-stick baking paper in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

SWITCH: Want to up your vegetable intake? Add a grated carrot (approx. 70g prepped) and reduce the juice to 60ml.
