Pulse dates in a food processor until they’re in small pieces; about 15 generous pulses.
Add oats, chocolate chips, and peanut butter and pulse or mix until combined. You want there to be consistently small pieces but not overly processed.
Transfer to a 9x9 or larger pan and press down until uniformly flat (adjust number/size of pan if altering batch size).
Pop in freezer for 15 minutes to set. Then remove and cut into 8 bars (as original recipe is written). Will keep fresh in an air-tight bag or container for up to a week.
Notes
*Be gentle after cutting the bars, else they will crumble. *Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
