ore.Jackie's Grizzly Bars
3 c. rolled oats (not quick cook)
½ c. almond butter (raw, creamy preferred)
2 Tbsp. coconut oil (optional)
1 Tbsp. agave nectar (optional)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2.5-3 c. dates (pits removed, medjool preferred)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread oats on baking sheet, bake at 350 F for 15 min (or until lightly browned). Remove from oven and allow to cool and process in food processor. Transfer oats to a large mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, warm almond butter,coconut oil and agave nectar over low-medium heat stirring until an even consistency is achieved. Mix in cinnamon then remove from heat to cool. Process dates in a food processor until a paste-like consistency is achieved (a mass will form and will not be uniform).* To this mixture, add the almond butter mixture and combine with several pulses and finally add the ground oats. Process until all ingredients are combined. Transfer oat-date mixture to an 9" x 9" or 11" x 7" pan and press evenly to the edges and so the top is level.** Cut into desired bar size and enjoy!
* Note: If processing is difficult, redistribute ingredients and continue.
**Note: Line with wax paper (or similar) before adding mixture if you want to remove from pan before cutting. Refrigerate before cutting if bars loose shape.
