Ingredients

Instructions

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Place the pitted Galil Dates, almonds, honey, egg, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth yet still retains a bit of texture.

  • 3

    Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Gently fold in the chopped mixed nuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  • 4

    Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  • 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top turns a rich golden color and the edges are set.

  • 6

    Remove the dish from the oven and allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into bars.

Notes

If you want to boost the flavor of your Date & Nut Breakfast Bars, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of LiOr Ground Cinnamon. This small step enhances the warmth of the spices and brings out the natural sweetness of the dates.

Let the mixture settle for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to blend, and always let the bars cool before slicing. Cooling helps maintain the right texture, ensuring that each bar is firm yet chewy, making them easier to enjoy as a quick snack or a nutritious breakfast option.

Tips & Tricks

  • Enjoy these bars with a warm cup of your favorite tea or coffee. This pairing makes for a complete and satisfying morning ritual that not only tastes great but also helps set a calm, energizing tone for the day ahead.
  • To make it easier to manage your snack portions, cut the baked mixture into uniform pieces. This simple step ensures that each bar is of a similar size, making it easier to grab the right amount for a quick breakfast or snack.
  • Wrap each bar individually in parchment paper once they have cooled completely. This method helps keep the bars fresh and makes them easy to pack into a lunch bag or store in the pantry, so you always have a healthy, grab-and-go option ready.
