Prepare the Ingredients
Soak the dates in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain.
Finely chop the oatmeal and nuts for a smoother texture.
Toast the Nuts and Seeds
Heat a dry pan over medium heat and toast the cashews, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Blend the Mixture
In a food processor, blend the soaked dates until a smooth paste forms.
Add the toasted nuts, seeds, and oatmeal, then pulse until well combined.
Drizzle in the olive oil, honey, and salt, blending until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together.
Shape and Chill
Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined baking dish.
Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Cut and Serve
Once set, cut into bars or squares.
Enjoy as a nutritious snack or breakfast on the go!
