Description
Quick and easy no-bake protein bars that satisfy your snack cravings and keep you energized.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almond or peanut butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 3/4 cup almonds, lightly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Start by placing the pitted dates in your food processor. Blend them until they form a thick, sticky paste.
- Next, add the almond or peanut butter and maple syrup to the food processor, processing until everything combines into a creamy mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, rolled oats, and if you’re feeling indulgent, the chocolate chips and chia seeds too.
- Now, pour that delicious date mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper to make removing the bars easier later. Press the mixture firmly into the dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
- Finally, pop the dish into the refrigerator for at least an hour until the mixture sets. Once set, cut the bars into your desired size!
Notes
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
