Serves: 9 bars
Ingredients
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
  • 1 cup (about 12) pitted medjool dates
  • ½ cup shelled walnuts
  • ½ cup unsweetened dried cherries
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. In a food processor bowl, combine the dates, oats, walnuts, cherries, cocoa powder, and salt. Process for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture resembles crumbly dough.
  2. Turn the mixture out onto wax paper or parchment paper and shape evenly into a ½-inch thick rectangle.
  3. Refrigerate the bars for 1 hour or longer.
  4. Cut into nine bars.
Notes
Chocolate Chips Option: For a bigger chocolate hit, you can fold ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (we like minis in bars) into the dough once mixed.
