Notes

Banana - Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness.

Dates - Soft Medjool dates make it easy to grind and help with the binding. If using Noor dates, I like to soak them in water for about 30 minutes and then drain them thoroughly before using.

Oats - Use old fashioned or rolled oats for the best chewy texture.

Nuts - Try using toasted pecans or sliced almonds instead of walnuts
