No-Bake Cereal Bar
Healthy no-bake cereal bars that are packed full of nutritious ingredients, including dates, seeds, oats and berries.
Ingredients
- 240 g dates* ideally medjool, roughly chopped
- 125 g pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds or chopped nuts
- 1 tablespoon linseed/flaxseed optional
- 135 g oats
- 85 g maple syrup
- 70 g nut butter or use sunflower seed butter to make it nut free
- 100 g goji berries or other dried fruit
Instructions
- Line a 20 x 30cm baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Place the dates in a food processor or high speed blender and process until broken down.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and add 135g oats and 125g seeds. Also add a tablespoon of flaxseed if using. Mix well.
- Place 85g maple syrup and 70g nut or sunflower butter in a small saucepan and gently heat until combined.
- Add to the mixing bowl with the 100g goji berries and mix well. I recommend using your hands to ensure that the berries combine well with the other ingredients.
- Transfer everything to your prepared tin and smooth the top. I find the best way to do this is to place a sheet of baking paper over the top and use a mug or glass to roll over the top.
- Place in the fridge for at least an hour until firm.
- Cut into bars and store in the fridge.
Notes
- If you are not using medjool dates and they feel dry, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before starting this recipe, then drain.
