Step 1
Start by soaking the dates in a bowl of boiling water for about 10 minutes to soften them up. Once they're ready, drain the water and set the dates aside. Next, combine the oat flour, protein powder, and cocoa powder in a food processor and blend until everything is mixed well. Add the softened dates, half of the pecans, half of the coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse the mixture, adding a little water if needed, until it comes together into a soft dough.

Step 2
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl, then stir in the rest of the pecans, coconut, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Spread the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper, place another sheet on top, and roll it out to about half an inch thick. Pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. When it’s set, cut into 12 bars and enjoy!
