  1. Place the walnuts in the food processor and pulse until mostly ground.

  3. Use a spatula to scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the blueberries.
  4. Line an 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper and put the bar mixture into the pan. Using another piece of parchment paper, press the mixture down evenly into the pan. Remove the top piece of paper and top the mixture with 2 tbs of walnuts pressing them down slightly with the spatula.
  5. Place the pan into the freezer for thirty minutes. Once mostly frozen, remove and cut into bars. Wrap the bars individually in parchment paper. T
  6. Place the wrapped bars back in the freezer to enjoy when needed!

  • Lastly, make sure to soak the dates prior to blending them. The softer they are, the better they process into “date paste” without having to add much water.
