These baked blueberry date bars could not be easier. I love any and all recipes that simply require a quick whirl in the food processor – the lazy baker’s dream. 🙂 And that’s exactly what this recipe asks of you. Just a quick spin in the food processor, pop it in the oven, and you’re done! Easy peasy.
Ever buy big batches of berries and by the time you get down to the last handful, they’re not as firm and maybe even a little smooshy? Not ideal for fresh snacking. That’s when having recipes like this on hand are PERFECT! Doesn’t matter how smooshy and ugly they are, throw them into this batter and keep those blueberries go to waste!
The recipe calls for sunflower seed butter, but you can also use creamy almond butter. Any natural nut butter will do, so just use what you have on hand! Here are the pitted dates that I used.
