Is It Fall Yet Bars
Grey Wiebe
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1/8 cup ground flax seed
1/8 cup hemp hearts
6 to 8 medjool dates
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp orange peel
dash salt
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup frozen raspberries (the amount varies based on the sweetness of the dates)
1/2 cup almond butter (+ 2 Tbsp for stickiness)
Directions
Add dry ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine evenly. Add the remaining ingredients and mix to form a sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more rolled oats. If the dough is a bit too dry, add more almond butter to get just the right consistency. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls or 2 inch bars. Enjoy! Keep in refrigerator and enjoy for up to a week!
I wanted a quick, no-bake snack that was filling for those hangry moments and evoked some fall flavors. I love fruit + cinnamon + orange peel, but it’s easy to modify the recipe to suit what you have on hand.
