Rawnola (Grain-free)

Optional

Instructions

Notes
It is essential that you remove all pits from the dates! It can ruin a batch of rawnola. Believe me, I know from experience! I remove all the pits and then count the pits to make sure I have them all. Also a note about salt, if you add a pinch or two of sea salt, it can help bring out the sweetness of the dates but it is not necessary.
