Ingredients
1/2cupalmondsunsalted
1/4cupflax seed meal
1/4cupinstant oatsrolled may also work
tiny pinch salt
2tablespoonshoney
a few tablespoons of almond milk
1cuppitted dates
1/4teaspoonvanilla
Instructions
Combine almonds, flax, oats and salt in a food processor and grind until blended. Add the honey and process until the mixture starts to clump. If mixture seems dry, add milk 1/2 tablespoon at a time until the mixture sticks together to form a moldable mass. Remove the mixture from the food processor and place on a sheet of wax paper. Cover with another sheet of wax paper. Roll the dough into a rectangular shape approximately 1/4" thick. I cut the rectangle in half at this point and rolled half out thinner, about 4" by 6."
Combine the dates and vanilla; process until a spreadable paste emerges. Spread half the paste lengthwise along the rolled out dough. Fold one side of the dough over the date paste and press along the seam to seal. It's easiest if you handle the dough through the wax paper at this point. Slice into 8 bite-sized chunks. Repeat with other half of dough. Store newtons in an airtight container in the fridge.
