Prep: 10min
Ingredients
- 15 Medjool dates
- 150g raw pecan halves
- 100g gluten-free oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160oc
- Remove the pits from the dates with your fingers (they should come right out!).
- Place the dates in the food processor and process or pulse until they are mainly chopped and rough texture forms. Then add the remaining ingredients and process for a minute or so until a crumbly dough forms.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Dump the dough into the center of the parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it into a rectangle that is 6” x 10.5”. Cut the dough into 14 bars that are 1.5” x 3”.
- Bake the bars for 30 minutes (this step helps to make the texture drier and less sticky). Cool the bars to room temperature, then store refrigerated in a sealed container between sheets of wax paper.
