Preparation
Preheat your oven to 175°C
On a baking tray toast your oats and sunflower seeds in the oven until slightly golden
Line a square baking tin with parchment paper
In a large bowl mix your flaxseed, coconut, cinnamon, chia seeds, salt and torn up dates
Remove your oats and sunflower seeds from the oven and add to your bowl
In a small pot add your coconut sugar, peanut butter, olive oil and 1/4 cup of water. Melt and combine all together
Add to your bowl of ingredients and mix well
Tip over into your baking tray and firmly push down with another piece of baking paper until it is all nice and tightly packed
Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown on the edges
Once done, allow to cool and slice into desired squares. If you would prefer them crunchier, return to the oven spreading out the squares on a baking tray and baking for another 5-10 minutes; remember they crunch up more once cool
Chocolate drizzle
Melt your chocolate over a double boiler and drizzle over your bars or simply dunk them in
