Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups pitted prunes
- 0.5 cups almond butter
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cups chopped dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a food processor, combine the pitted prunes, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Add the cocoa powder, rolled oats, and sea salt to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but retains some texture.
Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and chopped nuts (if using) using a spatula.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula or your hands.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
