For the bars
- 2 cups medjool dates, pitted
- 1 ½ cups tigernut flour
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteTrue ceylon cinnamon is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/12 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla powder
- 2–3 tbsp water, as needed
For topping

Instructions
- 1
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.

Place the pitted dates in the food processor and pulse 10–12 times until they break down into a rough, sticky paste — the texture should resemble chunky dough with no large whole pieces remaining.
