These No-Bake Date Bars are soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened with Medjool dates and honey or maple syrup. Packed with oats, nuts, and coconut, they’re the perfect wholesome snack or energy bar—quick to prep, customizable, and ideal for on-the-go fuel without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup almonds (or walnuts)
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Blend the pitted dates in a food processor until smooth and sticky.
  2. Add rolled oats, almonds, shredded coconut (if using), honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
  3. Pulse until well combined and mixture begins to clump together.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan until even and compact.
  5. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
  6. Slice into bars and enjoy or store for later.

Notes

  • Add chia seeds, flaxseed meal, or protein powder for extra nutrition.
  • Use sunflower seeds for a nut-free version.
  • Throw in dark chocolate chips or dried cranberries for variety.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Use a damp spatula or spoon to pack the mixture tightly in the pan to avoid crumbling.
