Description
Delicious no-bake protein bars made with medjool dates, nut butter, and oats for a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almond or peanut butter (120g)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 3/4 cup almonds, lightly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Start by placing the pitted dates in your food processor. Blend them until they form a thick, sticky paste.
