2 large eggs

1/2 cup almond butter

1/4 cup finely chopped pitted dates

1 medium banana, mashed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if necessary)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or mini morsels (sweetened with stevia – I used Lily’s brand)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch baking dish with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
2. Combine eggs, almond butter, dates, banana and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to combine until well blended. Stir in oats, baking powder and salt. Fold in chocolate chunks and nuts.
3. Press mixture into prepared pan. Bake 18–20 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; lift up foil or parchment, and cool on wire rack. Cut into 10 bars.
