What You Will Need
- 9 oz. pitted medjoule dates (14 apx)
- 1/3 cup almond butter – I use the brand Prozis.
- 100g sugar free dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- Sea salt (optional)
Get your almond butter & coconut oil at a discount at Prozis with the discount code “KATIE10” 🤍
How To Make Them
- Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes. Blend in a good food processor until smooth.
- Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper. Firmly press the dates down onto the bottom of the dish, followed by the almond butter.
- Melt the coconut oil & chocolate chips together in the microwave. Pour on top of almond butter.
- Place in freezer for an hour to firm up. Cut into 16 squares & enjoy!
**You can totally add protein powder in with your dates if you want to as well for a high protein version!
How To Store Them
Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer (depending on your firmness desire). I like mine to be a little more soft and gooey so I stick them in the fridge!
