Prep time: 10 minutes + 1 hour to set in freezer

Allergens: sesame & gluten

Freezer friendly and lunchbox friendly

Ingredients:

• 15 dates, pitted

• 1 1/2 cups organic rolled oats

• 1 tbsp hulled tahini

• 2 tbsp hemp seeds

• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds

• 1-2 tbsp of the date water

• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: dark chocolate chips

Method:

Line a loaf tin or 20 x 20cm baking pan with baking paper.

Cover the dates in boiling water and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Remove the dates from the water and place them into the food processor. Set aside the water to be added soon.

Add all the remaining ingredients into a food processor and whizz until it combines. Stir through the chocolate chips (if using) then transfer the mixture to the loaf tin/baking pan.

Press the mixture with the back of a spoon to create a smooth top. Pop in the freezer for a 1-2 hours until set.

Once set, slice and enjoy!

Storage:

These can be stored in the fridge or freezer. If you are adding to a lunchbox, these will last better throughout the day if they come straight from the freezer.
