Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 5 medjool dates, pitted
- 1.5 cups rolled oats, gluten free
- 1 cup all natural peanut butter
- ½ cup peanuts (lightly salted), coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons brown rice syrup
Instructions
- First, heat oven to 350ºF. Then, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine rolled oats and peanuts. Then, spread the mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 12–15 minutes (I baked about 14) or until golden brown. Set aside.
- Next, add medjool dates, peanut butter, and honey to a food process, and process until the dates become smooth.
- After this, Transfer the mixture out of the food processor and into a large bowl. Add the toasted oats/peanuts and mix until you get a crumbly mixture. I used my hands because it works best. Add chocolate chips and brown rice syrup, then mix again with your hands until a cookie dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture remains too crumbly, add more brown rice syrup.
- Line a square, 8×8 pan with parchment paper and add the dough. Use your hands to press the mixture into the pan so it stays even all the way through.
- Put the pan in the refrigerator for an hour. Cut into 9 square bars. Eat!
