Even though these cookie bars taste like a dessert, they can be a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast (as long as you like sweet breakfast foods). They taste delicious with coffee! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
These vegan cookie bars are made with 6 all-natural ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRolled Oats<\/li> Dates<\/li> Creamy Peanut Butter (Unsweetened, Unsalted)<\/li> Vanilla Powder (can substitute vanilla extract, but vanilla powder is highly recommended)<\/li> Salt<\/li> Water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nRecipe Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong>: Add rolled oats, vanilla powder, and salt to a large food processor. Blend completely until you are left with oat flour. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2<\/strong>: Next, add the dates to the food processor. I like to rip the dates into smaller pieces to make it easier on the food processor, but you can add them in whole. Pulse the mixture until the dates are chopped up, and then blend until it is well combined with the oat flour. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/strong>: Add creamy peanut butter to the food processor and blend until everything is combined. Because the consistency is getting thicker at this point, you might have to pulse the mixture and scrape down the sides every once in a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 4<\/strong>: While continuously pulsing the oat flour mixture, slowly drizzle in the water. If you notice that some of the mixture is getting stuck at the bottom, make sure to scrape it off before adding more water. This will help the water distribute more evenly. You will be left with a crumbly texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 5<\/strong>: Once you have combined all of the ingredients and everything is evenly distributed, pour the mixture into a glass container of your choice. I like to use a medium-sized, rectangular food storage container. A larger container will result in thinner bars, and a smaller container will result in thicker bars. In whatever container you choose, use the back of a spoon to pack the mixture down. (This is what will hold the bars together, so make sure to pack it down well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
