Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Nuts
Begin by measuring 1 cup of almonds. If using whole almonds, consider roasting them lightly in a pan over medium heat for enhanced flavor. Set aside to cool.
- 2
Soak Dates
Take 1 cup of pitted Medjool dates and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes. This helps to soften them, making blending easier.
- 3
Combine Base Ingredients
In a food processor, add the cooled almonds, soaked dates (drained), 0.5 cups of rolled oats, 0.25 cups of peanut butter, 2 tbsp of chia seeds, and 2 tbsp of honey or maple syrup.
- 4
Blend Mixture
Process the mixture until it becomes sticky and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- 5
Form Bars
Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the pan and press it down evenly with your hands or a spatula. Ensure it is compact.
- 6
Chill and Slice
Refrigerate the pan for at least 30 minutes to set. Once firm, lift out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice into bars.
- 7
Store and Serve
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
