Ingredients

1 cup - dates*
1 ½ cups - old fashioned oats
⅓ cup - nut or seed butter
2 tablespoons - maple syrup or honey
1 cup - mix ins
melted chocolate

Instructions

Place the dates into a food processor and blend until they form a paste. It takes about a minutes. Stop to scrap down the sides as needed.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together the nut butter and maple syrup, stirring constantly until fully combined. Remove from the heat.
In the same bowl with the date paste, mix in the oats, 1 cup of mix ins, and peanut butter mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour the mixed into a lined 8×8 inch pan (or similar size) and press down firmly so that everything is nice and compact. Place in the fridge or freezer to set and chill for about an hour.
Cut into 8-10 bars and ENJOY! I recommend storing leftovers in the fridge (or freezer to last longer)
*soak in hot water for about 30 minutes and then drain if your dates are a bit older and dried
