Ingredients
- ½ cup dried goji berries
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves
- ½ cup coconut sugar (or ⅓ cup coconut sugar + 2 ½ tbsp sucanat for a crispier top)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8" x 6" tupperware container (or any oven-safe dish of a similar size) with parchment paper and set aside.
- Process all ingredients in a food processor into a fine sticky crumble. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press down into a flat even layer. Cover with a piece of parchment paper and press it down even more with a flat-bottomed object to compress the mixture as much as possible.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25 mins. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Cut into pieces and enjoy. Store leftovers in a sealed tupperware container.
