Only 4 ingredients ! perfect for lunches, snacks, breakfast and not sweetened with sugar
CRUST
1.5 cups raw almonds
1.5 cups oats, if you have an intolerance to gluten use GF oats
10 pitted dates roughly chopped
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
DATE FILLING
25 pitted dates roughly chopped
1/2 cup of water
Line an 8 x 8 square pan with parchment paper (my trick is to put the pan above the paper, trace with a pencil all around and then cut with scissors 🙂
In a food processor , process the almonds and oats until fine, add the dates and process again. Add the melted coconut oil and process until sticky. Set aside 3/4 of a cup of the mixture for later (for top layer). Take remaining of the mixture and press firmly and evenly into your pan.
For the filling use the food processor as well and process the dates and water until a paste forms. Spread the date mixture onto the crust and spread with a flat spatula.
Sprinkle the 3/4 of the mixture previously set aside and press down with your fingers. Let set in the fridge for 1 hour minimum. Cut into squares and ENJOY !
