These refined sugar free, gluten free, Easy Date Almond Butter Bars are delicious slathered with almond butter and topped with sliced bananas for breakfast, afternoon tea or even dessert!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 12 medjool dates
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted (I heated it up in a microwave safe dish in the microwave for 10 seconds)
- 3/4 cup MaraNatha Creamy No Stir Almond Butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is preheating, soak the dates in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes.
- While dates are soaking, grease the bottom of a 9x9 baking tray (I used coconut oil) and then line the 9x9 baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Drain the dates well and discard the water the dates were soaking in. Make sure the dates are dry.
- Add the oats, soaked dates, melted coconut oil, MaraNatha Creamy No Stir Almond Butter, eggs, salt, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon and cardamom to a food processor or high speed blender and process/blend till ingredients are all blended and mixture is smooth. You might have to stop and scrape down the sides during this process.
- Spoon the blended date and almond butter bar mixture into the lined 9x9 baking tray and place in the preheated oven. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, grab the parchment carefully and pull the bar out of the baking tray and place on a cookie sheet to cool completely before slicing. These Easy Date Almond Bars can be enjoyed for breakfast with some MaraNatha Creamy No Stir Almond Butter and sliced bananas.
