RECIPE INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup mixed nuts & seeds, roughly chopped
• 4 soft dates, finely chopped

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make No Bake Almond Energy Bars

1. Add almond flour, rolled oats, chopped nuts and seeds, dates, dried figs, dried apricots, and orange zest to a large bowl.
2. Add the peanut butter and mix everything well.
3. Start by adding 2 tablespoons of oat milk and mix again. If the mixture still seems dry, add a little more, one tablespoon at a time. The mixture should be soft and sticky enough to hold together when pressed.
4. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined surface and place another sheet of parchment paper on top.
5. Flatten or roll it into an even layer using a rolling pin. Press it firmly so the no-bake energy bars hold together nicely. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm.
6. Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth.
7. Pour it over the chilled mixture and spread it evenly across the top.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and orange zest, if desired. Chill again until the chocolate has set.
9. Remove the slab from the refrigerator and slice into bars, rectangles, or squares. Enjoy your homemade no-bake almond energy bars.

RECIPE NOTES

1. You can also use your favorite combination of nuts depending on what you have in your pantry.
2. The milk should be added gradually, as the amount needed can vary depending on how soft and moist your dried fruits are.
