Directions Heat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch pan. Process dates and applesauce into a paste. Mix with oats, walnuts, seeds, chia, berries and cinnamon. Press firmly into pan, bake 22–25 minutes and cool completely before slicing. Inspired by Shared Food Patterns
Blue Zone Connection The combination of oats, dates, walnuts, seeds and berries keeps this recipe centered on whole and minimally processed plant foods. That approach is consistent with the plant-forward eating pattern associated with Loma Linda. This is a modern Blue Zone–inspired recipe, not a traditional Loma Linda dish.
Helpful Notes Press the mixture firmly into the pan so the cooled bars hold together. Chill completely before slicing and store between sheets of parchment. Estimated Nutrition Per serving
