Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the almonds and walnuts until they’re roughly chopped. Then, add the dates and cranberries little by little, pulsing as you go until everything is well combined. Next, toss in the coconut, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, and blend until the mixture reaches a texture you like—it should hold together but still have some bits for texture. Shape the mixture into a log about 2 inches wide, then slice it into ten pieces, each roughly 3/4 inch thick. Arrange the pieces on your prepared baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake for around 10 minutes, just until they’re set. Let them cool before digging in!
