One of the things I wanted to pack in my Hospital Bag was tasty, filling, and healthy snacks. These date muesli bars have been a wonderful addition to our weekly food prep to increase the amount of dates I was eating without adding a load of chocolate to my diet too!
Quick and easy nut-free date muesli bars
One of the things I wanted to add to my Hospital Bag was healthy snacks that I could make at home so I knew what I was eating. These are nut-free and truly delicious!

Ingredients
150g rolled oats
40g desiccated coconut, plus extra to sprinkle on top
50g pumpkin seeds
50g sunflower seeds
90g maple syrup
50g coconut oil, melted
16 dates, deseeded
Intructions
Preheat oven to 170ºC and add a sheet of greaseproof paper to a 9x9 inch square tray. If you have a reusable sheet, use this instead!
Place all ingredients in food processor and pulse until well combined.
Press the sticky mixture into your tray. Sprinkle the top with 1 tbsp of desiccated coconut and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and while still warm, cut into 12 bars.
Allow to cool completely before eating. When they have cooled, enjoy!
Notes
I made this as a healthy Hospital Bag snack. One of my friends has a nut allergy and I wanted to make sure that whatever I was bringing to the Hospital was safe for anyone with nut allergies.
