Homemade Energy Bar (No Sugar Added)

Dates are one of the best natural sources of sweetener. Sometimes I eat Dates when I crave for sweets! Dates are also excellent source of iron and has tons of great health benefits (Click to know everything about Medjool Dates). There are many varieties of Dates but Medjool Dates are my favorite. If you ever go to middle eastern countries like Dubai, you MUST try dates from there. They are SOO good. Last year when I went to Dubai, I tried some and those were the best dates I ever had!

I usually make these dates energy bars with Oats in summer and with Ginger in the winter. Here is my summer recipe and will post winter recipe soon but for now you can get a quick recipe from Instagram.
