Ingredients

150 g almond flour
100 g rolled oats
75 g unsalted butter, melted
70 g honey
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
200 g Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
100 ml water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chopped nuts for garnish optional
Sea salt flakes optional

Equipment

20 cm (8 inch) square baking tray
Heatproof mixing bowl
Blender or food processor
Chef's knife
Measuring cups and spoons

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, melted butter, honey, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
In a blender, combine the chopped dates, water, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting with more water if needed until you achieve a desired consistency.
Once the base is cool, spread the date caramel evenly over the top of the dessert base.
Allow the bars to set for an additional 10 minutes before cutting them into neat pieces. Garnish with chopped nuts and a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.

Notes

Feel free to swap out the almond flour for another nut flour like hazelnut for different flavor nuances.
If you're not a fan of dates, consider using maple syrup or agave for the caramel.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week; simply reheat in a microwave for a few seconds if you prefer them warm.
