~100 g (1 cup) oat flour (you can grind oats to make your own)
60 g (2.1 oz) peanuts (fried and salted are great)
100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dates:
Soak 170 g of pitted dates in hot water for 2-4 minutes to soften them.
After soaking, drain the water and place the softened dates in a blender or food processor.
2. Make the Date-Peanut Butter Mix:
Add 2 tbsp of peanut butter and a pinch of salt to the dates.
Blend well until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, forming a sticky paste.
Divide the mixture into two portions: 60% will remain in the blender, and 40% will be transferred to a bowl for later use.
3. Add Oat Flour:
To the larger portion of the date-peanut butter mixture (left in the blender), gradually add 100 g of oat flour.
Blend until the mixture thickens and forms a dense, dough-like consistency.
4. Layer the Date Mixture:
Take the smaller portion of the date mixture and press it into the bottom of a mold or tray to form a flat, even layer.
Spread the oat flour-date mixture on top to create a second layer, pressing it down evenly.
5. Add Peanuts:
Sprinkle 60 g of peanuts over the top of the layered mixture, pressing them gently into the surface to ensure they stick.
6. Freeze:
Place the tray in the freezer for 30-40 minutes to firm up the layers.
7. Melt the Chocolate:
While the layers are firming up, melt 100 g of dark chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
8. Cover with Chocolate:
Remove the tray from the freezer and pour or spread the melted chocolate over the top, covering the entire surface of the mixture.
9. Chill:
Return the tray to the fridge for about 5 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
10. Serve:
Once the chocolate has set, remove the tray from the fridge.
Cut the mixture into bar shapes and enjoy your homemade, sugar-free Snickers bars!
