They are such a simple recipe that come together in just under 20 minutes and make for the perfect snack or treat.  They are made with your choice of nuts, rolled oats, shredded coconut and sweetened only with dates, all held together with creamy sesame seed butter!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups any mix of nuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds
  • 1 cup oats, instant or quick
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup tahini (sesame seed paste) or any other nut or seed butter
  • 1 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line a 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting. Or use a silicon pan.
    Place the nuts in a food processor and process until broken down and crumbly. Add all other ingredients (except chocolate chips) - oats, coconut, nut or seed butter, dates, coconut oil and vanilla and continue to process until well combined.
    Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your bars so some bigger pieces are fine.
    Lastly, add chocolate chips and pulse a few times to combine.
    Scoop mixture out into the lined pan and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon. Place in refrigerator to firm up for 1-2 hours.
    Lift bars out of pan using the parchment paper handles and cut into 12 bars ior more smaller squares depending on your size preference.
    You can wrap them in parchment individually storing in the fridge (for up to two weeks) or freezer for longer.
    Bars will start to melt around room temperature due to the coconut oil, so they will need to be kept chilled to stay firm.
