Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Medjool dates about 4, pitted
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup almond meal*
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Add the dates, peanut butter and maple syrup to a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the liquid batter into a large bowl.
  2. To the bowl, add the oats, almond meal, coconut flakes and salt and stir with a spatula. You may need to use your hands to combine the mixture.
  3. Add the blueberries to the oat mixture and stir well. Some blueberries may burst, and that’s perfectly fine!
  4. Line a baking tin (8” x 8” or 9” x 13”) with parchment paper and press the oat mixture into the pan. Make sure you press it down until it’s firm. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. *If you can’t find almond meal, buy almonds with the skin on and pulse in the food processor until they become crumbly.
  6. **These granola bars will stay for 3-4 days in the fridge.
