WHAT I USED:
For the bags I purchased the ones below on Amazon. I also decided to purchase a sealer for extra security for the bags since I was mailing them. I really didn't want my family to open the box and find all the ingredients had merged together. But that could be my OCD talking :).

As far as the labels. I made them myself. I used Adobe Illustrator to make them, but it's just as easy to use Microsoft Office. Just open a new document, draw a text box and insert the text. Make sure the border on the box is a little thicker and then when you cut them out, cut just outside the line leaving a white border. I used full sheet sticker paper in my ink jet printer.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup pure honey
1 cup oat flour
3/4 cup vanilla protein powder
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup dried dates (chopped)

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray the cups of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick.
  2. Heat the coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until coconut oil has melted. Set aside.
  3. Add the following ingredients to the bowl of an 8-cup or larger food processor: oat flour, oats, and chia seeds. Pulse a couple of times until the seeds and oats begin to break up. Add the coconut, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
  4. Add the chocolate chips and chopped dried dates and pulse until combined.
  5. Pour the melted coconut oil and honey over the dry ingredients, then pulse just until combined. Transfer to a large bowl and stir well to make sure all ingredients are well-combined.
  6. Scoop by the heaping tablespoonful into the cups of the mini muffin pan. With your fingers, press each gently but firmly to pack and flatten.
  7. Bake for about 12 minutes until set and edges are golden.
  8. Remove from oven, allowing to cool for about 10 minutes. Use a butter knife to help pop each bite out of its respective tin; carefully remove from tin and place on a wire rack until completely cool and set.
  9. Keep at room temperature in an airtight container
