My Amish friend showed me this treat and I couldn’t stop eating it!
★Instructions
- Prepare Dates: Drain the soaked dates and place them in a food processor. Blend until they form a smooth paste.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine rolled oats, almonds (chopped or whole), shredded coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the date paste, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Form the Bars: Line a baking dish (8×8 inches works well) with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into bars or squares.
Storage:
Store these energy bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze them for longer shelf life.
