Blueberry Banana Bars | Vegan and Gluten-Free Snacks | Vegan Dessert with Dates

on





Are you looking for a vegan and gluten-free snack or dessert? That's what I wanted when I searched this recipe. I am trying to eat more whole-food plant-based because I hear its really good to balance your hormones. 

I eat everything but this week I decided to go vegetarian to start. I really wanted a nice dessert, but one that didn't come out of a package with a long list of ingredients. So, I found a way to use that old banana and the dates we have on the counter. I was SUPER SURPRISED. these are delicious and can be a snack, dessert, or even breakfast. It's almost like having an awesome oatmeal bowl in a bar form. So, even though I don't have to grab and go out these days, I would definitely make these before hand if I had to go out and about. 

While you'll love this recipe: 

  • no flour- its made with whole grain oats
  • no refined sugars - its sweetened with dates
  • no eggs so it doesn't have any added fat except the natural fats in the walnuts
  • its dessert but still feels like you're doing your body good
