Well... I just dump everything into a food processor and then bake it. Measurements are estimates.

1 cup of pitted dates
tblspn vanilla
teaspn salt
3 scoops protein powder
3/4 cup almond butter
1/2 can coconut milk
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut oil
~ 2 cups ground oats (or oat flour. I just grind it myself)


I process the dates, almond butter, and coconut milk first, so the dates get blended. Then I add the rest and blend.

Line a 9x9 pan with a silpat or parchment paper, pour it in, and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

I also just made these with pumpkin, but I think I posted that recipe for you a week ago? The above recipe is just as good raw, minus the egg and oil. Roll into balls and coat with oat flour or shredded coconut. IMO, baking is much less messy though. These taste like brownies.

Hmm, maybe this isn't for me. 


I’m using these as a postWO carb source and I’m primarily trying to get in carbs and protein, without a whole lot of fat in it. Not that I’m by any means anti-fat (AT ALL lol) but for this “application” it’s not what I’m looking for.



Thank you for this though! It sounds delicious!

Probably not. I like fat. LOL.

I thought this was going to be an Oatmeal comic about non dairy milks.

I eat oatmeal for breakfast several times a week and I always cook it with water, raisins and sliced almonds. No dairy added.

And the McCain Irish Oats and Steel Cut Oats are made in a factory without gluten or nuts - it's safe for Celiacs, but they don't label their packages with it (Irish company).

I make my steel cuts oats with water. Sometimes I add nuts or raisins. I put milk on after. I use skim cow's milk or almond milk.

This is really helpful, thank you. Where do you buy that brand?

I buy at Amazon and at the healthy section of Wegmans. Love it.
