Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 lightly packed cup soft dates (I used deglet noor), pits removed
  • 1 cup hemp hearts
  • 1/2 cup tahini (no added ingredients)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink sea salt
  • 1/4 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)

Instructions
 

  • Heat over to 350. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper—let the paper extend over the pan edges so you can easily lift the bars out after baking.
  • In a food processor, pulse the oats until a rough oat flour is formed.
  • Add all of the other ingredients to the food processor (besides the chocolate chips). Pulse, then blend until the mixture comes together, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary. Some small date chunks are fine.
  • Press the mixture into your parchment-lined pan, then sprinkle of chocolate chips, lightly pressing the chips into the bars.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then let the bars cool in the pan over a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cooled bars from the pan by grabbing onto the parchment "wings" then slice. Store in a sealed container for up to one week.
