What will this recipe make?

These are great energy bars. Goji berries are the most nutritionally dense fruit. Flaxseeds are high in Omega-3 fats and dietary fibre.

Ingredients

180g porridge oats 3 tbsp ground flax seeds 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds 1 tbsp goji berries 2 tbsp chopped dates 1 tbsp chopped figs 2 tbsp coconut oil 2 tbsp peanut butter (a good quality one without added salt or sugar) 1 tbsp honey (optional)

Method

Melt the honey, coconut oil, and peanut butter together in a pan. Stir in all other ingredients and mix well to form a sticky mixture. If you find the mixture a little too sticky, you can add more oats to firm it up a little. This will make slightly crumblier bars though. Press the mixture firmly into a greased baking tin (about 8 inches x 8 inches should be big enough). Place the tin at the top of a hot oven (200c/gas9) for 10 – 15 minutes, until gold brown. Allow cooling fully before cutting into bars.
