Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 3/4 cup nut or seed butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instruction

  • In a high speed blender or food processor combine the Medjool dates, nut/seed butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Blend to form a thick sticky paste, you will likely need to use the tamper or stop and stir frequently. If absolutely necessary you can add 1-2 tablespoons of either maple syrup or coconut oil to get it to blend. Do not add water or the bars will turn out soggy.
  • Transfer the date paste to a bowl and microwave for 30-60 seconds to soften. Or heat on the stovetop until soft. It will not change in appearance, but makes it much easier to mix into the cereal so don’t skip this!
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice crispy cereal and salt. 
  • Add the date paste and mix until evenly coated.
  • Press firmly into a baking dish lined with parchment or wax paper. Smaller dish = thicker bars, but any size works.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm. 
  • Slice and enjoy! They do not need to be kept in the fridge, but will last longest that way.
