No-bake coconut date bars are a perfect healthy snack made with just a few natural ingredients. They’re soft, chewy, and packed with nutrients—ideal for fueling your day without added sugar or baking. This recipe is quick, beginner-friendly, and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups pitted Medjool dates
-
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
-
¾ cup raw almonds (or cashews)
-
1 tablespoon coconut oil
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dates
If the dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
2. Blend the Base
In a food processor, pulse almonds until finely chopped. Add dates, shredded coconut, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend until a sticky dough forms.
3. Press and Shape
Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Press it down firmly and evenly using your hands or a spatula.
4. Chill and Slice
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Once firm, cut into bars or squares. Store in the fridge for up to 10 days.
