No Bake Almond Butter Breakfast Bars
Ingredients
- 300g dates (or you could use a mixture of dates, figs, raisins)
- 240ml warm water
- 100ml of coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 500g rolled oats
- 100g desiccated coconut
- 50g pumpkin seeds
- 50g dried cranberries
Preparation
Line a baking tray with baking parchment and set aside
Soak the dates in the warm water for 20 mins (you can skip this if you have a really powerful blender like @vitamix ) then whiz the dates, almond butter and coconut oil in a high speed blender until a smooth paste forms
Put the oats, coconut, pumpkin seeds and cranberries into a big mixing bowl. Add the date paste and stir until fully combined. I like to use my hands
Pour (or spoon - the mixture will be sticky and firm) the mixture into the baking tray and push down firmly so that it forms and even slab
Freeze for 2 hours until set. Cut into squares and store in the fridge for a quick breakfast or emergency flapjack occasions
