Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 oz Lily’s dark chocolate baking chips optional
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Combine ingredients in a food processor.
- Mix dough: Mix until a crumbly dough starts to form.
- Shape bars: Drop the date mixture onto wax paper and press into a block shape, keeping it about 1/2″ thick.
- Add chocolate layer: Cover with melted chocolate if desired.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate until set (about 30 minutes).
- Serve: Cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- I prefer to use Medjool dates in this recipe, but you can use any kind you like.
- If you want your bars to be a little bit chunky, stir in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips before shaping. You could also add the nuts into the food processor.
- These can be made in a square baking dish. Just line the pan with parchment paper first. You could also easily add a chocolate layer on top of the bars this way.
- Store these healthy date bars in the refrigerator, sealed in an airtight container, so that they stay firm and fresh. They will last approximately ** when stored this way.
