These no-bake date energy bar are loaded with natural ingredients like dates, walnut, almonds, and nuts like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Being no-bake, they require very less time to prepare. Just get all ingredients in a food processor, pulse them for about 1-2 minutes and set them in a baking pan. Leave them overnight in the fridge to set in and cut them in the desired shape.
Dates are a good source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, calcium, potassium and much more. Eating them every day helps to meet our daily requirement of vital nutrients. Since dates are sweet in taste, works as the natural sweetener in these no-bake bars. Also, there is no need to add any liquid to combine other ingredients, dates have enough moisture to bind everything together. Read more about date here.

These bars are fantastic. I added a little water to mine which helps them stay together. I was wondering if you have calculated the calories?
Thanks, Nomis, actually moisturizer comes from dates only and that too Medjool dates. So you do not need to add water. Actually, I have not yet attached nutritional info. Sorry
You can simply eliminate nuts and keeping rest of desired ingredients as it is. Medjool dates are soft and moist while grinding they work as a binding agent and combine. Rest process is the same. Hope this helps.
Thanks Rozanne for liking I am glad.
wow Nice to know about this Delia. Thanks for liking my space. I am humbled.
Thanks Christine, yes you will get there in Costco.
Thanks Elly I am glad that you liked my space. I am humbled.
I’ve tried your vegan bars, unfortunately after a night in the fridge, they still didn’t keep together as a bar, but fell apart. I have added all the ingredients but nothing helps! can you tell me if I forgot to do something.
I still ate them with a spoon, but I was so eager to add them to my lunch.
Please help.
Txs so much.
Hi Marie,
Thanks for trying the recipe. Sorry to hear that it did not turn out well.
The only trick is using Medjool dates. They are soft, tender, and moist. While grinding they are the one who act as a binding agent and helps in combining everything. I hope you are using the same dates.
I got a big packet of Medjool dates from Costco, Austin. Apart from this really have no idea what could go wrong.
