Thermomix Coconut Date Bars

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife June 29, 2018June 28, 2018

I whipped these Coconut Date Bars up one afternoon when the kids came home from school telling me how hungry they were. In under 5 minutes, the mixture was sitting in the tin ready to be baked, and just over 30 minutes later they were ready to eat. These coconut date bars were so quick and easy to make and gave me plenty of leftovers to put in kids lunchboxes for the next day and to freeze for future after school hunger emergencies.

The dates give these bars a slightly caramel-like flavour, making them taste so delicious and naughty when in reality they are jam-packed full of goodness. The beauty of this recipe is that you will most likely have everything you need to make it already sitting in your pantry. The only thing you may not have is linseeds, but you can easily substitute chia seeds or hemp seeds in their place.

Depending on the amount of time you bake these for, they can turn out to be soft or crunchy. I baked mine for about 35 minutes and they were soft and delicious, but if you like yours to be gooier or harder (like a crunchy muesli bar) then just adjust the baking time.

Made these yesterday, delicious! I slightly overcooked them as I was multitasking at the time!
I didn’t have medjool dates, so swapped for the same weight in dried dates, still turned out fine. Quick and easy, great swap for store bought muesli bars.

Absolutely delish! I added dried cranberries in addition to the dates and instead of linseeds, used pepitas and sunflower seeds. Hubby and I have attacked most of it for after dinner treat, not much left for morning tea tomorrow!

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
