Coconut Date Bars

I used a mixed salted nut blend that I had on hand. After blending everything it was definitely a crumbly consistency. I opted to leave out the oil but added a couple of tablespoons of sorghum which did the trick of binding everything. Flattened the mixture on wax paper and refrigerated for a bit. The sorghum flavor is strong so honey may work better for some, I thought they turned out amazing. Definitely will make again (or anytime I have leftover dates from Super Bowl appetizers).

These were SO much better than I had expected. Loved them!

These are awesome. Added a heaping tbs of almond butter. These are the best my daughter is a taker. We will add other fruits another time. Feels like cheating.

Good recipe, I think the coconut oil is off. Perhaps it should be tablespoons instead of cups? I used I doubled and used 1/2cup of coconut oil added 10 dried apricots, 1/2 cup ofpistachios and 4 fresh black figs.

I’ve made these multiple times. My husband and children all love them m. I have switched things up by using different combinations of nuts including pecans, cashews, pistachios and walnuts. Turns out great every time. If the mix isn’t sticking together I just add more dates.

I made these as written and they were fantastic! I used sweetened flaked coconut because it’s all I had, but next time I’ll make sure to use unsweetened as the dates make it plenty sweet.

I added protein powder, vanilla, cinnamon, dry oatmeal, ground psyllium and SF maple syrup. The “dough” was initially too oily, but crumbly. Adding more dry ingredients and syrup was the trick. I rolled them into balls. Turned out fantastic! Taste like a Larabar bite!

The taste was great… but this didn’t give me bars. It gave me crumbles.. what am i missing that would allow this to firm up in the fridge.. after 2 hours i still had crumbles. The coconut oil didn’t make the ingredients stick together to make a bar.

Sweet without sugar!

I love these! I followed the recipe but instead of making a square, I scooped out 1 TBSP flush packing it in and dropped it into a mini muffin tin to refrigerate. It made 12 bites! Perfect little snack!

So good and stops the sweets craving. I did not have all the ingredients, the store I was in only had sweetened flakes so I skipped that and used walnuts instead of the cashews because im just not a big fan of them. Anyways it turned out wonderful, I love it plan on using dried prunes next time instead of the dates. Thanks for the inspo

Soak dates with hot water for about 10 minutes definitely a good idea…

They are very good I will make them again and again . I did have some trouble keeping them together though..

These are AMAZING!!!!!! Such a wonderfully natural treat!

No changes!

Didn’t hold together well

My husband asked to go on a VERY strict diet and this recipe fit the bill! Easy to make and so good for him. He’s a shift worker which makes an added disadvantage for eating well. These take the edge off whenever he needs it. So perfect

Delicious. Added a few extra dates to hold it together better.

These are really good bars! I made the mistake of thinking that the recipe amount would fit into an 8×8 pan, however; and that resulted in paper thin bars! I instead pressed them into only half of the 8×8 pan, and that resulted in a bar with a decent thickness. So if you’re wanting to be able to press this mixture into a pan, I would at least double (if not triple) the ingredients. I also added a pinch of salt and some vanilla extract. Would make these again, but probably in a double batch! Thank you!

Did not add coconut oil either. Next time I will shape the bars better.
