Servings: 16 bars
Calories: 126kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed dates pitted and soaked
- 1 cup quick oats
- ⅓ cup ground flaxseed
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup black tahini
Instructions
- Pit your dates and place them in a bowl. Cover them with boiling water to soak for about 10 minutes. Once soft, drain the water and use a small food processor or blender to process them into a smooth paste.
- While the dates are soaking, whisk together the oats, ground flaxseed and almond flour.
- Add in the date puree and the black tahini and stir until a uniform, sticky dough forms.
- Press the dough onto a parchment paper lined tray until about ½-1 inch thick and whatever shape you desire.*
- Chill the dough in the fridge for an hour or so before cutting into bars. I got 16 bars.
- Store the bars in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks!
Notes
*You could also roll the dough into balls!
The preparation time does not include the chilling of the dough. If you are short on time, use damp hands to roll the dough into balls. Then store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge.
