The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 14 dates (chopped into little pieces)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 12 graham crackers (processed into crumbs - about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Place the chopped dates, chia seeds, flax meal, maple syrup and water in a medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside and let sit for 15 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 325 F
  • Once the dates have rested, add the oats, graham cracker crumbs and salt and mix until almost incorporated
  • Add chocolate chips and marshmallows and mix until completely combined
  • Grease a medium baking dish and press the date mixture into it, making sure it is spread evenly. I use my hands to pack it down
  • Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes
  • Remove and let it rest on a wire rack until the bars are completely cooled
  • Run a sharp knife around the sides to loosen them
  • Cut the bars into 12 pieces or more if you desire
  • Eat one right off
  • Wrap the rest in plastic and place them in the freezer
  • Resist eating them all
  • Smile because you were successful
  • Enjoy
