Hints & Tips

• To make these treats gluten-free, simply swap the oats for ½ cup extra nuts (1.5 cups of nuts in total) and ½ cup shredded coconut.
• If your dates are very hard, soak them for 5 minutes in boiling water, then drain before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
• Almonds can be replaced with other nuts you have on hand—walnuts or pecans are good substitutions.
• Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. They will freeze for up to 3 months.
