In a sea of pumpkin baked goods, how about some easy no bake bars to add to the mix?
All you need is a food processor, a loaf pan, and a freezer to let them set up and voila! Your no bake bars are ready in no time.
These bars use simple ingredients and Medjool dates to sweeten – no added sugar here! I love using melted coconut butter as a quick and easy frosting, but feel free to omit if you’d like.
These bars are a perfect fall snack or dessert. Great for packing in lunches too!
I hope you love these bars as much as I do! Tag me on Instagram @laurenslovelykitchen if you give them a try!
