Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free for GF eaters)
- 1/2 cup raw almonds, walnuts, or pecans (roughly chopped)
- 1 heaping (seriously) packed cup dates (pitted // deglet noor or medjool)*
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds* (see note)
- 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds (roasted or raw)
- 2 Tbsp flax seeds (ground or whole)
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- 1/4 cup creamy salted natural peanut butter or almond butter
Optional Additions:
- Chocolate chips, dried fruit, other nuts, banana chips, etc.
Instructions
- Toast your oats and almonds in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a “dough” like consistency (mine rolled into a ball).
- Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl. Add seeds and set aside.
- Warm agave and peanut or almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix.
- Transfer to an 8×8 dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (Or use 2/3 of a 9×13 // as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size)
- Cover with parchment or plastic wrap and press down with something flat, such as a book, to get them really packed tight. This will help them from being crumbly. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden.
- Remove bars from dish and chop into 10 even bars (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn’t necessary.
Notes
- *If your dates don’t feel sticky and moist, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes then drain before processing. This will help hold the bars together better.*Adapted from my 5 ingredient granola bars*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.*Chia Seeds - If you have a history of swallowing issues, use caution and talk with your doctor before consuming raw chia seeds. If avoiding, sub with another seed of choice.
