I am happy to hear you enjoyed these! And the great thing about this recipe, is that you can easily adapt it to be as sweet as you like 🙂

Great recipe but turned out intensely sweet despite only using half the honey that’s called for. Will omit the added sweetener all together next time. I think the dates and peanut butter are plenty sweet for us.

Hi Madison! Applesauce is not as sticky as dates, so the bars will not hold together well. You can opt to use extra nut buter/honey or raisins.

Can I use applesauce in place of dates?

Hi Noura! The dates are hard to replace in this recipe. You can use soaked and drained raisins, but keep in mind the texture may not be the same and the bars may not form as easily.

That is a great tip on how to omit the maple syrup! Thanks for sharing!

This is my go to recipe! It turns out great even without the maple syrup. Still very sweet and satisfying. I usually soak my dates and add the water to make up for the missing liquid.

I already had everything needed to make these in my pantry. Love that! They were easy and fun to make, and I love that I can control the ingredients. The best part is that they were delicious! What a great back-to-school recipe! Whether we're in the classroom or not, we're all going to be on a different daily schedule and healthy snacks are a must, even for teachers like me! Thanks, Kristen. 🙂

Hi Janelle, while the bars may not hold together quite as well, you can use raisins in place of dates and extra nut butter in place of coconut oil.

Thank you!
