Description
Delicious and nutritious no-bake walnut date bars that satisfy your sweet cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup coconut flour (60g)
- 1/2 cup walnut halves (55g)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil (room temperature)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 125g Medjool dates, pitted (8–10 dates)
- 1 cup walnut halves (110g)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (50g)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup drippy almond butter
Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper (or foil) and set it aside.
- Make the crust: In your food processor, combine the coconut flour, walnut halves, 1/8 tsp salt, coconut oil, honey, and 8-10 pitted Medjool dates. Blend until the mixture begins to clump together, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Press the crust: Transfer the crust mixture into your lined baking dish and firmly press it down to create an even layer.
- Blend the filling: Rinse out your food processor, then add the remaining 1 cup of walnut halves, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Blend until a sticky mixture forms, stopping to scrape the sides as needed.
- Layer the filling: Remove the filling from the processor and scatter it over the crust. Press it down with your hands until it’s well compacted.
- Melt the chocolate: In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the almond butter until smooth.
- Pour and set: Pour the chocolate topping over the filling and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to set.
- Slice and serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment flaps. Cut them into desired sizes and get ready to indulge!
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Ensure your Medjool dates are fresh and moist for best results.
