Notes

  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free (if using certified GF oats), dairy-free, egg-free, and made with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners—just 6 simple, wholesome ingredients.
  • It’s sweetened with soft medjool dates and uses carrots, oats, walnuts, and coconut for a nourishing snack that still feels like a treat.
  • The mix comes together in minutes using a food processor, and the texture is soft, chewy, and satisfying with a subtle spice from the cinnamon.
  • For best results, let the bars cool completely in the tray before slicing—this helps them firm up and hold together.
  • Perfect as a grab-and-go snack, breakfast bar, or healthier dessert any time of day.
