Directions: |
Directions:*If your dates are super hard, just soak them in boiling water for a half hour. Most regular grocery stores carry dates; just be sure to buy them pitted. I hit up the Bulk Barn for all my date needs....ha
Blend all ingredients in a food processor (or halve the recipe and use a single serve blender). When doing a full recipe, I’ve found that a food processor works much better than a blender because everything processes more evenly and the results are not a sticky mess. Roll into balls and roll in shredded unsweetened coconut (could use more nuts, powdered sugar or another replacement here if you want!)
I layer these in a container or ziplock and keep them in the freezer. I take 2 out to have with a coffee; great little breakfast treat! |

Personal
Notes: This is a healthy-ish treat (even though dates have a ton of sugar). My husband and I love them and stopped buying larabars
