Homemade Power Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 ounces silken low-fat tofu, drained well (almost the whole package)
15 large medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup almonds
1/4 1/4 cup raisins (optional) or 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit (optional)
6 ounces 70% dark chocolate

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Puree the tofu, dates and coconut oil in a blender.
Transfer this paste to a bowl.
Add oats and nuts and seeds and dried fruits as you desire.
Spray coat a 9x13 inch pan.
Spread the mixture evenly into the pan.
Cook for 30 minutes, or until firm and browned.
Melt the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl.
Spread melted chocolate over the top of the bars.
Allow to cool for at least 1 hour, or put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Cut into small 1x3 or 2x4 inch pieces, they are very filling!
These keep well for a week in the fridge, or for 3 months in the freezer. I freeze 3/4 of my batch and eat them straight out of the freezer, they're not too hard!
