Ingredients
  • 1½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup tightly packed medjool dates
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup brown rice syrup
  • ½ cup dry roasted, no salt added peanuts
  • 1 tbs chia seeds
  • 1 tbs hemp hearts
Instructions
  1. Add rolled oats in food processor. Pulse until oats are chunky, but not until they have become flour. Pour in mixing bowl and set aside. <--You don't have to do this step, but I prefer the texture.
  2. Add dates to the food processor, pulse until they become a thick paste. Do not over process or it will become date caramel. Add to mixing bowl with oats.
  3. Warm brown rice syrup (I used microwave). Add syrup along with the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl.
  4. Mix well until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. Place parchment paper in 8 x 8 glass pan. Pour mixture, which should be chunky, into pan. Press firmly to flatten,
  6. Place in fridge for at least 2 hours, to become firm.
  7. Carefully pull out by parchment paper and then cut into rectangles. Keep in airtight container in fridge for up to a week (maybe longer, haven't tried)
  8. **You can sub in any nuts you would like. You could also exchange or add flax seeds into the mixture too. cinnamon or cocoa might be nice additions for new flavors as well. Versatile, as always :)
