Instructions
You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale.
Process all the ingredients for the granola layer in a food processor.
Line a 6x9 inch or 7x7 inch pan with parchment paper and press the dough into the pan. Use your hands or a jar to compress the granola layer. Set aside and preheat oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit (ca. 180 °C).
For the chocolate layer, simply process all ingredients in your food processor until the mixture is creamy. Depending on your food processor it might take a couple of minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times.

Notes
Use your favorite nut butter (for example peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc.).
You could use applesauce instead of banana, however, I had the best result with banana.
The dates should be soft and juicy. If they are rather dry, soak in hot water until softened. Then discard the water.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months. Let them thaw completely before serving.

I really enjoyed the recipe, especially the chocolate layer! But the bottom layer came out a little too crumbly for me. I baked it in a 9x9 pan for 20minutes. Any suggestions on how to get a firmer granola layer?
These are really good! I used an 8x8 pan, but the top came out kind of cake like. Sprinkling granola wasn't an option since it wouldn't have stuck. Still tasted great, and everyone I shared them with really liked them. I will use these when I need a sweet treat or so.e quick energy.
These bars look so yummy! I really love recipes like this!????
