Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup pitted dates
- 3/4 cup dried mango (see note below)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- One or two pinches fine sea salt, optional
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or quick oats
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper, with the excess paper overlapping the longer edges of the pan.
- In a food processor, add the dates, mango, chia seeds, salt, and process until the ingredients are chopped up finely and sticking together in a large mass.
- Scrape down the sides if needed and then add the remaining ingredients: almonds, oats and melted coconut oil. Process until thoroughly combined or until the mixture appears chewy yet consistent in texture.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined loaf pan and fold down one side of the parchment paper over the mixture before firmly pressing down. The more you press, the better it will hold! Refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes before slicing into bars. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
Notes
- If the dried mango feels tough, soak the pieces in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes or until softened. Pat dry to remove any excess water. (I have found unsweetened mango to be tougher and firmer than the sweetened variety.)
