Crafting Your Delightful Treats
Create Oatmeal Flour
Our first step is to transform oat flakes into flour. To do this, place the oat flakes in a blender and grind them until they achieve a flour-like consistency.
Add Walnuts for a Nutty Twist
Next, add the walnuts to the oatmeal flour in the blender. Continue blending until the nuts are finely chopped, ensuring that some small pieces remain for added texture and flavor.
Prepare the Dried Fruit Mix
Now, let’s work on our dried fruit mix. Remove the pits from the dates and add them to the blender bowl. Pour in the cocoa powder and a pinch of salt for that perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Blend the mixture until it’s thoroughly combined.
Combine and Sweeten
Transfer the crushed fruit and cocoa mixture into a large container. Then, drizzle the liquid honey over the top. If your honey is in a solid state, you can gently melt it using a bain-marie. Once the ingredients are together, knead the mixture with your hands until it forms a cohesive mass.
