Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Soften dates by soaking them in a bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes. Then drain.
  2. Add soaked dates and 1/4 cup warm water to food processor.
  3. Pulse until dates are finely chopped.
  4. Add coconut flour, melted coconut oil and carob powder to food processor and pulse until a sticky batter forms.
  5. Scrape down the sides of the food processor and pulse again, until well-combined.
  6. Line an 8″ square baking dish with parchment paper and spread the batter into an even layer.
  7. For a smoother top, add a sheet of parchment paper on top and smooth with a flat-bottomed object (like a drinking glass).
  8. Transfer to the fridge to firm up for 30-60 minutes.
  9. Lift carob date bars out of the baking dish with the parchment paper. Slice into 16 bars and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week, or in the freezer for about a month.
