Ingredients
- 1.5 cups OneDegreeOrganic sprouted rolled oats
- 1 cup medjool pitted dates
- ¼ cup dairy free milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp hemp hearts
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup freeze dried strawberry + more for topping
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add pitted dates and milk to a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms (you’ll need to scrape the sides a few times)
- Transfer the date mixture to a bowl and add vanilla
- Add oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds and freeze dried strawberries (crumble them as you add them in or loosely chop them before adding)
- Mix well (I found it easier to mix with my hand, pressing it together making sure the date mixture covers all the oats)
- Grease a 9x9 inch dish and line with parchment paper
- Transfer mixture and press down well. I like to use a glass to roll over and smooth it out.
- Sprinkle with shredded coconut and additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries and press down again using the bottom of a glass
- Place in the freeze for for a minimum of 30 minutes then remove and using a sharp knife cut into 12 squares
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days (or freeze for up to 3 months) and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your dates are plump! If they have dried out, consider soaking them in hot water for 20 minutes then draining before adding to the blender.
- Store in the fridge so they don't fall apart.
- When cutting into squares, make sure you're using a sharp knife.
