Time 55m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
20 medjool dates, pitted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch-square baking pan with vegetable oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Put the oats, peanuts, peanut butter, sunflower seeds and dates in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with the salt and vanilla. Add the mixture to the food processor and pulse until it becomes a coarse, chunky paste. Fold in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly, gently pressing down to flatten. Bake for 35 minutes, or until firm and golden.
  • Cool and cut into 20 bars. The bars can be stored in an airtight container for a week in the refrigerator and a month in the freezer.
