Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon
- 8 dates pitted
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 oats
- 1/2 cup brown rice cereal or Rice Krispies
- 1/2 cup millet puffed
- 1 cup dried cherries chopped
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 9x9" baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang.
- Cook bacon until rendered and crisp. Break into pieces, set aside. Remove the pits from the dates and discard. Soak the dates for 5 minutes with enough hot water to just cover, set aside.
- Place the walnuts and bacon in a food processor and pulse for two minutes to start breaking down the nuts to a meal like consistency. Add the drained dates, water and kosher salt and pulse again for a minute or two until it comes together.
- In a large bowl mix the oats, grain cereals, nuts, cherries and walnut date mixture. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the almond butter, peanut butter, honey, and kosher salt. Heat mixture on HIGH power for 1 minute, remove and stir. Return to microwave and heat on HIGH power 1 minute longer. Remove from microwave, pour in vanilla and whisk mixture to thoroughly incorporate.
- Pour nut butter mixture over oat/cereal mixture and toss well to evenly coat. This will be thick. Spread mixture into 9x9" baking dish for tall or 13x9" for thinner bars and firmly press with a spatula into an even layer making sure to spread to all edges.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator 1 hour minimum. Lift bars from dish using paper overhang and cut into squares/bars. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.
