Ingredients
  

  • 12 large medjool dates (pitted)
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¾ cup almonds
  • 1 cup organic oats
  • ⅓ cup pistachios
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries (no sugar added)
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pit the dates and add to a food processor with the peanut butter and maple syrup. Blend until well combined and sticky. If your dates are hard then keep blending and add 1-2 tbsp of water as you blend so it very soft and sticky.
  • Add the other ingredients to the food processor and pulse to combine. You want the nuts combined well but not broken down completely.
  • Press into an 8 inch square tin (which is greased/lined) and press down firmly until very flat. I like to add a few more nuts, seeds and cranberries to the top so it looks more appealing, but this is optional.
  • Refrigerate for about an hour to harden slightly then cut into bars.
