Instructions
- Line a 4×8 loaf pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the dates and almond butter. Pulse and blend until smooth and creamy, but a few small chunks of dates is fine. Transfer mixture to large bowl and gently start folding into the dry ingredients until it’s combined. It will be very sticky!!
