PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of No-Bake Tahini Date Energy Bar Single-Serve:
- Mash The Dates: Place 2 pitted Medjool dates in a bowl. Use the back of a fork to mash until a sticky paste forms with minimal lumps.
- Add Tahini: Stir in 1 tablespoon tahini until the mixture turns smooth and slightly glossy, ensuring the sesame flavour is evenly distributed.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon almond flour and ½ tablespoon ground flaxseed, along with a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Form The Bar: Transform the dough into a square of parchment paper. Press firmly into a 5 × 3 centimetre rectangle, using your fingers or the back of a spoon for neat edges.
- Chill To Set: Place the bar in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up. Once set, remove from the parchment, slice or serve whole as a compact energy boost.

TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for No-Bake Tahini Date Energy Bar Single-Serve:
- Soft Dates: Choose plump and sticky Medjool dates for easier mashing. If too dry, soak in warm water for five minutes and pat dry.
- Tahini Texture: Stir tahini well before measuring because natural separation means oil rises to the top.
- Even Bars: Use parchment overhang to lift the formed bar cleanly out of the bowl and maintain shape.
- Press Firmly: Compact the dough tightly to prevent crumbling when sliced or bitten.
- Salt Balance: A tiny pinch of sea salt lifts sweetness and avoids adding more than a scant measure.
- Portable Storage: Wrap individually in parchment or beeswax wrap for perfect on-the-go snacks.
VARIATIONS
- Nut Crunch: Fold in 1 teaspoon chopped pistachios or almonds for extra texture and protein.
- Cocoa Twist: Stir in ½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate‑date variation.
- Spiced Bar: Mix ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon or cardamom to introduce warm spice notes.
- Citrus Zing: Add ½ teaspoon finely grated orange or lemon zest for a bright and fruity aroma.
- Berry Boost: Press 1 teaspoon dried cranberries or goji berries into the surface before chilling.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator: Store bars in an airtight container for up to five days, so keep chilled for best texture.
- Freezer: Wrap bars individually and freeze for up to one month. Thaw at room temperature for five minutes before enjoying.
