Ingredients
  

For the Bars
  • 15 dates Medjool dates use soft, pitted dates
  • 1 cup Raw almonds finely chopped or ground
  • 1 cup Old-fashioned oats helps bind the mixture
  • 1/2 cup Almond butter acts as a creamy binder
  • 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract adds warmth and depth
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt balances sweetness
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 tablespoon Chia seeds for extra fiber
  • 1/4 cup Cacao nibs for a subtle chocolate crunch
  • 1/4 cup Shredded coconut adds a tropical twist

Equipment

  • food processor
  • 8×8-inch Pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

For the Bars
  1. Place pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and pulse for 10–15 seconds until they form a smooth, sticky amber paste.
  2. Add raw almonds and old-fashioned oats; pulse briefly until the mixture is crumbly yet still slightly textured with nutty flecks.
  3. Transfer the date-almond blend to a large bowl; stir in almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined.
  4. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper; press the mixture firmly and evenly, ensuring edges are packed tightly for neat bar slices.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm; lift out with parchment, place on a board, and slice into 12 bars.

Notes

Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving. Use fresh, soft Medjool dates for the best texture. Pulse almonds and oats just enough to keep some texture; over-processing can make bars dense.
