Ingredients

\1.5 cups of Rolled Oats
\1 cup of Raw Pecans
\1 cup of Walnuts
\3/4 cup of Raw Cacao Powder
\1/4 cup of Almond Butter
\1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
\2 tbsp of Raw Honey, (optional as the Dates are already sweet)
\1/4 cup of Raw Sunflower seeds

Instructions

  1. Process walnuts in a food processor or Vitamix to a loose meal texture, remove and set aside.
  2. Add coconut oil and dates and process to a “dough” like consistency.
  3. Add walnut meal and cacao powder to the dates and process to combine.
  4. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the oats, pecans, almond butter, honey (if using) and stir to combine. Use your hands to really combine all the ingredients well, I applied coconut oil on my hand before mixing so the mixture wouldn’t stick all over my fingers.
  5. Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to a parchment paper lined 9×9” pan and spread it out, you want ½” thickness so don’t spread it too thin. If you don’t have the right sized pan use part of a bigger pan preferably square or rectangle shaped. The parchment paper will help lift it out easily so don’t miss this step.
  6. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds, press it down firmly with the back of a measuring cup and cover with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes to harden.
  7. Lift the parchment paper from the pan and transfer to a chopping board. Cut the bars anyway you like e.g. rectangles, squares etc.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the freezer or fridge and enjoy this delicious treat!
