Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned oats
- 1.5 cups Pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and almond milk. Process until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the almond butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the date mixture in the food processor. Blend until well combined, forming a smooth and sticky dough.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the old-fashioned oats and chopped nuts (if using) into the bowl. Stir with a spatula or clean hands until the oats and nuts are fully incorporated and well distributed in the dough.
Step 5
Press the mixture evenly into the lined baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a cup to pack it down firmly and ensure a smooth surface.
Step 6
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set and firm up.
Step 7
Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 even bars.
Step 8
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
