Kid friendly bars : wholesome recipe that requires no baking
These bars (pictured) are prepared with melted dark chocolate
Makes about 12 small bars
Ingredients
2 cups (500 ml) steel cut oats (gluten-free)
3 tablespoons (45 ml) coconut oil
1/2 cup (125 ml) soy butter (Wowbutter)
1/4 cup (60 ml) pumpkin seed meal (I use a coffee grinder to grind my seeds and nuts into flour) or 1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup (125ml) flax meal
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) Himalayan or sea salt
3 tablespoons (45 ml) dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or more)
1/2 cup (120 ml) pure maple syrup (or 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 filtered water for a less sweet snack)
1 cup (250 ml) dried dates, pitted
Instructions
To make these delicious no bake nut free granola bars, blend all your ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor. After mixing a few minutes, if your mixture is too dry, and not forming a dough like texture, add 1-2 tablespoons of filtered water to moisten it.
When the mixture forms a dough, add the chocolate chips and blend gently with a spatula.
Flatten the dough evenly in a square pan lined with parchment or wax paper.
Freeze the mixture in your freezer for about 10 minutes, until firm.
Remove the parchment paper from the pan and cut into bars.
Enjoy your wholesome homemade bars!
