Prep work:

• Soak the dates for 1-2 hours in a bowl with water.

Make the batter.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a blender, grind the pork rinds into a powder and set aside.
• Crack all eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the whites from the yolks.
• Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until the mixture is frothy and foam-like. This should take about a minute.
• Scoop the ghee into a glass container (or whatever you're using to melt it) on the stovetop. Melt the ghee until it is liquid. (This is important! Don't skip this step)
• Place the melted ghee, egg yolks, pork rind powder, sea salt, and soaked dates into a blender and blend until smooth. Add a little bit of water if the mixture is too firm to blend.
• Note: if you go through tons of salt in your household like we do, check out this salt purchasing hack that will save you money + make things more efficient. We started this last year, and I'm so happy we did!
• Add the mixture from the blender to the frothy egg whites and mix on low with a hand mixer until smooth.

Bake the Cake Bars.

• Place the mixture into an 8" baking pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes if you prefer a half-baked/moist/oily center. If you prefer a drier/fully-baked texture, bake for 50-55 minutes.
• Allow the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut into 9 bars. Serve and enjoy!
