Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
80 grams of oatmeal
-
60 grams of walnuts
-
80 grams of dates
-
100 grams of chocolate (your choice of dark, milk, or even vegan chocolate)
These humble ingredients come together to form a dessert that’s not just tasty but also packed with nutrition. Dates offer natural sweetness and a chewy texture, walnuts add a delightful crunch, and oatmeal brings it all together with its heartiness. And chocolate?

How to Make Your No-Bake Dessert:
-
Prep Your Dates: Start by pitting your dates if they aren’t already pitted. This makes them easier to blend and mix with your other ingredients.
-
Mix It Up: In a food processor, combine the oatmeal, walnuts, and dates. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together. You’re looking for a sticky consistency that can be easily shaped. If it’s too dry, you can add a few more dates; if too sticky, a bit more oatmeal.
-
Melt Your Chocolate: Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it. You can do this in a microwave, using short bursts of 20 seconds and stirring in between, or over a double boiler on the stove. Just make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn.
-
Combine: Once your oatmeal mixture is ready, press it into a lined dish or mold. Then, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
-
Chill: Pop your dish into the fridge for at least an hour to set. This allows the chocolate to harden and the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Enjoy: Once set, cut into bars or squares, and enjoy!
