For the Date Caramel
ingredients
- 7 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
Toppings

- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts
- 50 grams dark chocolate
To make the oat base:
Method
Step 1
Line an 8×6-inch pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a pan over medium-low heat, toast the oats until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Let cool for at least 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a food processor, blend the cooled oats until they form a rough flour.
Step 4
Add medjool dates and pulse to combine.
Step 5
Pour in non-dairy milk and pulse until the mixture clumps together.
Step 6
Press the oat mixture firmly into the lined pan using a cup or spatula.
To make the date caramel:
Step 1
In the food processor, combine dates, peanut butter, and salt, blending until smooth.
Step 2
If needed, scrape down the sides and add non-dairy milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches a smooth caramel consistency.
Step 3
Evenly spread the date caramel over the oat base.
Step 4
Press roasted peanuts into the caramel layer.
To make the chocolate topping and finish the bars:
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Step 2
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanuts, spreading it evenly.
Step 3
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 4
Once set, cut into bars and store in freezer-safe containers or bags.
