Chewy & Nutritious Date and Walnut Snack Bars are packed with goodness and super easy to make!

Step 1: Prepare the Dates
If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften. Drain and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they’re finely chopped but not powdery.
Add the dates, rolled oats, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a sticky dough. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
If using optional add-ins like chia seeds or flaxseeds, pulse them in briefly to distribute evenly.
Step 3: Shape the Bars
