Equipment

  • 20cm square dish or baking tin

Ingredients

  • 180 g dates
  • 150 g rolled or jumbo oats use GF oats if your coeliac
  • 130 g whole almonds or cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts
  • 30 g desiccated coconut
  • 30 g chia seeds
  • 80 g nut butter
  • 90 g honey use maple syrup if you're vegan
  • 75 g dried fruit I used blueberries, soaked for 10-15 mins in boiling water

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C Fan. Place the almonds and oats on a baking tray and bake for 10-15 mins. Do the same on a separate tray with the coconut and chia seeds, they take a mere 2-3 minutes so don’t take your eye off them. Cool, roughly chop the almonds. If your dates seem a little dry, soak them in boiling water for 20 minutes, drain. Blitz until you have a fairly smooth paste. Place into a bowl.
  • Warm the honey or maple syrup and the nut butter in a saucepan, if you’re adding any spices add them to the pan. Heat until just simmering, pour into the bowl with date paste and stir. Add the oats, nuts, seeds and coconut. Give it a good stir.
  • Line a square 20cm tin or dish with parchment paper and pour the mixture in, flattening and smoothing it. Cover and place into the fridge for 6-8 hours, or overnight. Cut into bars. store in the fridge or freezer.
