Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates (160 g)
  • 1/4 cup nut/seed butter (64 g)
  • 2 cup oats (160 g) rolled or quick
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (24 g)
  • 6-8 tbsp (nut) milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (60 g) dairy-free if desired

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment. If your dates are hard, soak these in warm water for 30 min first and drain.
  • Blend in a food processor medjool dates with almond butter until mixed (it will ball up, that's ok).
  • Transfer to a bowl and combine with oats, cocoa, salt. Gradually add almond milk. You want a dry dough not sticky, so add as little milk as possible.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Press into the pan, freeze at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  • In the morning slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • These magically don't thaw in room temperature so feel free to pack them in lunch boxes, store refrigerated or in room temperature! If you used more milk than necessary they might get a little soft, though they will still be Delicious.
