If I can make a nutritious snack that feeds the craving though, I go for it. Key lime pie has been on my mind lately but I don’t want all the extra sugar. Plus, with school being right around the corner I am spending some much-needed time in the kitchen prepping for snacks and yummies that I can make quickly throughout the week. The result? Key Lime Pie Bars. Deeeee-licious! Also…five ingredients? Easy as pie! (Except pie isn’t quite this easy). 😉 Key Lime Pie Bars--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Key Lime Pie Bars--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.comKey Lime Pie Bars--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Key Lime Pie Bars--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com

 Ingredients: 


  • 1 cup unsalted cashews
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 16 dates (cut in half or more)
  • Juice of 3 limes
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

What to do: 

Pour the almonds and cashews into the food processor and pulse a few times until they are semi-chopped. Add all the remaining ingredients into the food processor. Pulse a few times and then on low or until it starts forming together into a sticky mixture. Line an 8 x 8 pan (or really any pan) with wax paper. I used a spatula to flatten the mixture into an even consistency in the pan. Smooth out the top and edges. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Cut to desired width. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator or counter.
