Chocolate Cherry Oat Bars 

Start to Finish: 1-1/2 hours

Servings: 16 bars

Ingredients

>

12 Medjool dates, pitted and coarsely chopped

1-1/2 cups gluten free oats

3/4 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut

1/2 cup SunButter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Salt to taste

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

3 ounces dried tart cherries, coarsely chopped

4 ounces dark chocolate

Directions

>

  1. Place the dates, oats, coconut, SunButter, vanilla, salt and oil in a food processor fitted with the S blade and pulse until combined. You may need to stop a few times and scrape down the sides until it’s fully mixed. Stir in the cherries.
  2. Line an 8 x 8 glass pyrex dish with enough parchment that it extends a few inches on each side. Take the oat mixture and push it down, flat into the dish. Fold in the parchment to give it a good, even push down.
  3. Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a double boiler and heat until melted. Pour the melted chocolate on top of the oats. Use a spatula to create a thin even layer on top. Put the dish in the refrigerator and allow to set, about an hour. Once the chocolate is firm, pull the parchment up and use a sharp knife to create 16 squares. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.
