Homemade Pecan Energy Bar

Homemade Pecan Energy Bar

Serves 12

8.9 oz. (250g) medjool dates, pitted

4 oz. (115g) pecans, halves

1.6 oz. (45g) rolled oats

1 tbsp. chia seeds

1 tsp. vanilla extract

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

¼ tsp. salt

What you need to do

Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

Place the dates in a food processor and pulse until chopped and a rough texture forms. Add the remaining ingredients and process for a minute, to form a crumbly dough.

Place the dough onto the baking sheet and roll out into a 6x10.5” (15x25cm) rectangle, and cut the dough into 12 even-sized bars.

Bake the bars in the hot oven for 30 minutes, just to dry them out a little. Then remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cook to room temperature before enjoying.

Store the bars in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
