These no-bake date energy bar are loaded with natural ingredients like dates, walnut, almonds, and nuts like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Being no-bake, they require very less time to prepare. Just get all ingredients in a food processor, pulse them for about 1-2 minutes and set them in a baking pan. Leave them overnight in the fridge to set in and cut them in the desired shape.

Datesare a good source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, calcium, potassium and much more. Eating them every day helps to meet our daily requirement of vital nutrients. Since dates are sweet in taste, works as the natural sweetenerin these no-bake bars. Also,there is no need to add any liquid to combine other ingredients, dates have enough moisture to bind everything together. Read more about date here.

Having simple sugar content in dates makes these bar a perfect pre or post workout meal. A great snack for those who look out for sugarless options and kids simply enjoy them having with milk in breakfast time. You can also serve these as a sweet after a meal.

Method

First of all,clean the dates and remove seeds.

Can I use something else instead of this dates? Can't find them here. I wanted to make this for my mom. A healthy snack for her. She's diabetic.

  Dates help in binding and making these bars sugar-free. Not sure about any other alternative for the diabetic situation.

  Kathy, we just need Medjool dates to make these bars. Medjool dates are very soft and help in binding. It is a sticky crumbled mixture after grinding. If mixture looks crumbly then you can add few more dates to make them hold together

  You can keep them for 1 month at room temperature. And freezing up to 3-4 months easily.

this is absolutely delicious and I loved it!
The only suggestion I would offer is for the recipe to **very clearly indicate the type of date needed. When someone reads "(I used mejdool date)" this reads as a personal preference, not a necessary ingredient. It was only through reading through the comments after making it that the reason my bars were not staying together is because you need to use those specific dates and not dried dates.Will try again!

These turned out great! My kids loved them. I didn’t have dates so I used dried plums instead and they worked great! I also substituted almonds for cashews.

So good! I added cranberries, dried blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. They were crumbly but delicious. Next time I'll use Medjool dates, as I read in comments they are more moist.

Can you use dried dates or do they need to be the non-dried version?

  Emma, to make these evergy bars we need some moisture to hold everything. Soft & moist dates are best, Mejdool dates are perfect to make these vegan bars.
  With dried dates, you can not attain this.
