Day Two Hundred Sixty-Three: Almond Butter Date Bars

My kiddos have end-of-year testing tomorrow, and I wanted to have a quick, protein-packed breakfast on hand to help them power through the day. I came across a recipe for almond butter date bars, and decided to give it a try. I have only ever cooked with dates one other time, so that was still a little new for me. They came out a little more crumbly than I had hoped, but they should still work as brain fuel.
