Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
- peel of 1 lemon
- 1 ½ cup pitted Medjool dates about 8-10
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or coconut oil and set aside.
- Peel your lemon using a vegetable peeler.
- Process the oats, shredded coconut and lemon peel in a food processor until fine.
- Add in the remaining ingredients and process until a sticky dough forms. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of your processor occasionally.
- Press the dough down evenly into your prepared baking dish. Let the bars chill in the fridge for about 1 hour before cutting into squares.
Notes
I used oats to make these lower in fat and calories than the usual date bars - and that makes them nut-allergy friendly, too!
