Ingredients You’ll Need
- 150 g (20 pieces) of **dates** (soak for 15 minutes in cold water)
- 60 g of **oats**
- 80 g of **walnuts**
- 15 g of **cocoa powder**
- 70 g of **dark chocolate** (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon of **vegetable oil**
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Dates
Start by soaking the **dates** in **cold water** for 15 minutes. This softens them, making them easier to blend into a smooth texture.
2. Blend the Base Ingredients
Once the **dates** are ready, remove any pits. Then, in a blender, combine the soaked dates, **oats**, and **walnuts**. Blend until the mixture becomes a sticky dough.
3. Add Cocoa Powder
Add the **cocoa powder** to the mixture and blend again until fully incorporated. This will give your energy bars a rich taste.
4. Shape Your Bars
Shape the mixture into bars or small balls, placing them on a plate greased with a little **vegetable oil**. Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating
While the bars are chilling, melt the **dark chocolate** in a water bath. Add **vegetable oil** to ensure a smooth coating. Once melted, stir in the remaining **walnuts**, finely chopped.
6. Coat and Chill
Dip each bar into the chocolate-walnut mixture. Return them to the plate and let them chill in the freezer for another 30 minutes. This will create a delicious outer layer that’s hard to resist!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not soaking the dates: Skipping this step can make it difficult to blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Over-blending: You want a sticky dough, not a completely smooth paste. Stop blending once it reaches the right consistency.
- Neglecting to chill: Chilling the bars is essential for achieving the perfect texture and making them easier to handle.
