Date & Nut Bar

This bar received “20 thumbs up” from Griffin.

Whenever I make these they always come out a little different- but always good. It depends how much of nuts/seeds I add compared to the amount of dates. If you find that the mixture isn’t holding as well as you wish add more dates. I think it will be a win!

Gluten and dairy free nut & date bars:

Ingredients:
8-10 pitted softened dates
2tsp Vanilla extract
Cinnamon

1 - 1.5 cups in total of:
•coconut flakes
•pepitas
•almond slivers
•hemp hearts
•flax seeds

Directions:
If needed, soften dates in water by zapping for 30 seconds. Put all ingredients in a blender and mix. I used a handheld blender.

Oven set to 350. Grab a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. Gather the date and nut mixture and firmly press into the lined baking sheet.

Bake for about 12ish minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let it completely cool. Cut into squares. I stored mine in the fridge wrapped in wax paper just to prevent it from sticking.
