Ingredients
Nuts & Seeds
- 1/2 cup Almonds crushed
- 1/2 cup Walnuts
- 2 tbsp Pumpkin Seeds roasted
- 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds roasted, white
- 1 tbsp Couscous roasted
- 1 tbsp Flax Seeds roasted
Instructions
- In a food processor, coarsely chop the dried figs and pitted dates. Set aside.
- In the same food processor, coarsely chop the almonds and walnuts. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped dates and figs to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture softens and becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the honey. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens and forms a lump, about 2-3 minutes. The honey acts as a binding agent and adds a touch of sweetness.
- Line a baking tray or dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the bars from sticking.
- Transfer the date and fig mixture to the prepared tray. Spread it evenly into a rectangular shape using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, couscous, and flax seeds evenly over the surface of the fruit mixture. Gently press them down so they adhere.
- Let the bars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to firm up slightly. Then, using a sharp knife, score the bars into the desired size and shape. This will make it easier to cut and separate them after they are chilled.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Chilling helps the bars set completely and makes them easier to handle.
- Once chilled, cut the bars along the scored lines. These No-Bake Date & Fig Energy Bars are a perfect guilt-free snack and are ideal for packing in kids' lunchboxes.
