Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the Base Ingredients: In a food processor, combine oats, pitted dates, ground coffee, ground ginger, and sea salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely blended for about 30-45 seconds.
  2. Create a Smooth Mixture: Add almond butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil to the processor. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Adjust Consistency as Needed: If too dry, gradually add water one tablespoon at a time, blending until moist yet firm.
  4. Prepare the Pan for Setting: Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, pour the mixture in, and press down firmly.
  5. Refrigerate and Set: Chill for 20-30 minutes until firm enough to slice.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from the pan, slice into bars, and serve or store in an airtight container.
