Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut shreds (I used the sweetened variety, but unsweetened works too.)
- 1/3 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1 | |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place coconut shreds, raw cashews, and 1/2 cup of your all purpose flour in a high-speed blender. (I use Vitamix.) Blend on high until mixture becomes a course meal. | |
Step 2 | |
Pour blender contents into a mixing bowl and add another 1/2 cup of all purpose flour and remaining ingredients. | |
Step 3 | |
Mix ingredients with your fingers until a dry dough forms. At first, it may seem like you'll need more liquid. Just keep mixing, and it should all incorporate. If you're still sure you need more liquid, don't add more than a teaspoon of almond milk at a time. | |
Step 4 | |
Press dough into a parchment lined 8 inch by 8 inch baking dish, until it is fairly evenly distributed across the bottom of the dish. | |
Step 5 | |
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 18 minutes. |
