A delightful and simple recipe for making your own nutty date bars at home, perfect for a quick snack or healthy treat.
Place the dates in a food processor and blend until they form a sticky paste.
If the dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before processing.
Add the almonds and cinnamon to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
Avoid over-processing to maintain a nice crunch from the almonds.
Transfer the mixture to a cutting board and press it into a flat, even layer.
Use a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking while pressing the mixture.
Cut the flattened mixture into bar shapes using a knife.
For uniform bars, use a ruler or straight edge as a guide.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
