    Can I use something else instead of this dates? Can’t find them here. I wanted to make this for my mom. A healthy snack for her. She’s diabetic.

      Kathy, we just need Medjool dates to make these bars. Medjool dates are very soft and help in binding. It is a sticky crumbled mixture after grinding. If mixture looks crumbly then you can add few more dates to make them hold together

    this is absolutely delicious and I loved it!

    The only suggestion I would offer is for the recipe to **very clearly indicate the type of date needed. When someone reads “(I used mejdool date)” this reads as a personal preference, not a necessary ingredient. It was only through reading through the comments after making it that the reason my bars were not staying together is because you need to use those specific dates and not dried dates.Will try again!

    These turned out great! My kids loved them. I didn’t have dates so I used dried plums instead and they worked great! I also substituted almonds for cashews.

    So good! I added cranberries, dried blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. They were crumbly but delicious. Next time I’ll use Medjool dates, as I read in comments they are more moist.

      Emma, to make these evergy bars we need some moisture to hold everything. Soft & moist dates are best, Mejdool dates are perfect to make these vegan bars.

      With dried dates, you can not attain this.

      After making them I keep these no-bake bars in my fridge. Noticed that for a month they are good in taste and texture if kept in the fridge. Since we are a family of four, so last only for two weeks. I keep them in the kitchen shelf.

    The flavour is delicious! I’m a huge fan of dates so having these bars is a guilt free way into tricking myself that I’m having dessert! I left mine overnight and they didn’t set properly and just crumbled but from reading your previous reviews and comments, I really think the problem was that I didn’t use medjool dates. I’ll be sure to use those for the next batch..

      Thanks, Angie for trying out. Yes, you are right. Mejdool dates are very soft and moist enough to bind everything together. Try using them next time you will see the big difference in texture.

    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.

    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.
