Gluten Free Date Bars
Ever find yourself craving something sweet? How about something that satiates the sweet tooth without making you feel like crap after? This coveted recipe is naturally sweet, gluten free and actually not bad for you...at all! If you're still with me, I have the perfect treat for you.
The dates lend all the sweetness in this gluten free (and guilt-free) recipe - there's no sugar added! From the crumbly oat topping to the gooey, sweet filling, these bars are sure to be a hit with friends and family. What makes this recipe special is our Vanilla Bean Olive Oil - which gives the bars a toasty, nutty flavor. It's my absolute favorite.
