Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
15 dates, pitted and chopped
1 cup oat flour
½ cup whey protein powder
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup chopped pecans, divided
¾ cup shredded coconut, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water, or more as needed
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Place dates in a bowl and add boiling water to cover. Let soak for 10 minutes. Strain dates and discard the water.
Blend oat flour, protein powder, and cocoa powder in a food processor until well combined. Add dates, 1/2 cup pecans, 1/2 cup coconut, vanilla, and salt. Pulse to combine, adding water as needed, to get a soft dough consistency.
Transfer dough to a bowl. Add remaining pecans, remaining coconut, and chocolate chips; mix well.
Scrape dough onto a piece of parchment paper and place another piece of parchment paper on top. Toll bars out to about 1/2-inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
Slice into 12 bars and serve.
