These delicious no bake Tahini Apple Oat Bars consist of just a few ingredients and are so easy to make.
I would normally use the flavours of tahini, apple, dates and pecans later in the year as the weather drops a little cooler, however, I had apples and pecans I needed to use up before a week away so have delved into my Autumnal recipe ideas! I am so glad I did though as these no bake bars are lovely and, because they are frozen, they will help keep you cool during those hotter months.
I like to have these as a mid morning snack with a coffee to keep me going on busy days, however, they are great at any time of the day. I have also made versions of these bars with added chopped apricots and ginger which worked well so they are really versatile!
These bars are based on my Lemon & White Chocolate Oat Bars, which you can find here. When creating this recipe I decided to use tahini as, not only do I love the flavour of it paired with dates, but I wanted to create a nut free recipe, (the pecans are optional). The original recipe uses peanut butter in its place, however, now that I know this works with tahini you could go ahead and use it to create a nut free version of the Lemon & White Chocolate Bars.
I used a dark chocolate to drizzle over the top of the bars, however, you can use whatever kind you fancy. I thought white chocolate would work well with these flavours but I thought it might be too much for me personally combined with the dates. Having said that, if you have a massive sweet tooth this would be perfect for you.
I do not core or peel my apple before using but if you would prefer to then you can. I have noted to use a 8″ x 8″ baking tray to make these and slice them into bars once frozen but you could use individual brownie trays or a silicone muffin mould instead if preferred. I have noted the preparation time to be 40 minutes which may seem excessive but please do keep in mind that this includes the time needed for the bars to set.
I keep these Tahini Apple Oat Bars stored in the freezer and just allow them a couple of minutes to start thawing out before eating. Please keep in mind it is best to keep these cold otherwise they will start to lose their firmness.
