These chunky blondies are tailor-made for dunking in an ice-cold glass of milk, and they are a sweet treat you can feel good about. The natural sugars that fiber-rich dates bring to this recipe mean that less refined sugar needs to be added to the mix. Walnuts deliver more than a pleasing crunch, they contain more plant-based omega-3s in the form of alpha-linolenic acid than any other tree nut on the planet. Plus, they offer protein, fiber, and magnesium too. Due to their healthy fat content, walnuts need to be kept in a cool, dry place. If you plan to keep them for more than a month, they should be stored in the refrigerator or frozen in an airtight container so that the oils in the nuts do not turn rancid.
