No Bake Cookie Bars


Ingredients
  • 18 medjool dates
  • 3 Tbsp natural salted peanut butter
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (non-dairy for vegan)
  • ½ cup rolled oats (GF for gluten-friendly)
Instructions
  1. Pulse dates in a food processor until they’re in small pieces; about 15 generous pulses.
  2. Add oats, chocolate chips and peanut butter and pulse or mix until combined. You want there to be consistently small pieces but not overly processed.
  3. Transfer to a 9×9 or larger pan and press down until uniformly flat.
  4. Pop in freezer for 15 minutes to set, then remove and cut into 8 bars. Will keep fresh in an air-tight bag or container for up to a week.
