Ingredients
  • 1 and ½ cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓-1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips (or sub chopped dark chocolate)
Instructions
  1. Pulse dates until soft ball forms.
  2. Add peanut butter, vanilla and salt and blend until combined.
  3. Add oats and and chocolate chips. (Do not blend)
  4. Line a flat surface with parchment paper and form a rectangle. If you want more granola bars, make a longer rectangle and cut 8 short bars. If you want large bars, don't flatten quite as much, make a shorter rectangle and cut 5-6 bars. (You can also form a square and cut 9 even square bars.)
  5. Store in an airtight container, using parchment paper to separate bars for at least 2 hours.
  6. If you want to take one on the go, fold it in a sheet of parchment paper and put it in a plastic sandwich bag.
