Recipe: Oatmeal Datehini Bars

If you enjoy a "guilt free" healthy bars with your coffee, or need a quick snack to sweeten your day, here is a very simple and fulfilling recipe for you.  

OATMEAL DATEHINI BARS 
Makes 12 square bars

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oatmeal flour
• 1 cup almonds flour
• 1,5 cups chopped nuts that you prefer (I used walnuts, hazelnuts and pistachios) 
• 1 cup sliced raisins, dry cherries and cranberries
• 1/2 cup coconut milk 
• 1/2 cup tahini 
• 1 cup Datehini Original (you can also use Datehini Cinnamon or Vanilla)

Directions:  

1. Preheat oven to 380°F.
2. In large mixing bowl, mix together oat and almond flours. 
3. Add all the nuts and the dried fruits together.
4. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Datehini, tahini and the coconut milk. 
5. Add wet mixture over oat mixture and mix well until evenly combined. Pour onto prepared baking sheet lined with paper and spread into an even layer. It may take a little work here to make this even, make sure it is not too thick nor thin. 
6. Baking is the tricky part. When the corners are crispy and brownish, you can take it out of the oven. I baked for 15 minutes and it was perfect.
7. Let it cool before cutting onto square shapes.
