Pistachio, Date & Almond Bars (Vegan & Gluten free)

December 7, 2019 / Niki / 1 Comment

All the flavours of a beautiful middle eastern dessert – pistachios, dates and ground almonds. Some of my all time favourites – and the bars turn a gorgeous green colour from the pistachios – pretty special.

Like many of my easy bar recipes, they are incredibly easy to make, its just a matter of blitzing all the ingredients in a food processor, and then baking. But I think this is my favourite to date – Perfect for breakfast, snacks or a delicious dessert with some banana nice cream or coconut yogurt.

Sweetened with banana and dates making them sweet and squidgy – I’m in love!

I hope you enjoy, much love Niki xxx
