Ingredients

 

MAKES 10-15

 

250g Wholegrain porridge oats

 

120ml Maple syrup

 

100g Medjoul dates

 

100g Almonds

 

85g Dried cherries

 

80g Coconut oil

 

60g Coconut sugar

 

35g ‘Very Vanilla’ Protein Powder

 

1/2-1 tsp salt

Method

 

Chop the almonds into rough pieces.

 

Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180C, stirring from time to time, until just beginning to colour. Transfer to a large bowl.

 

Spread the oats out onto two baking trays and bake as you did for the almonds, stirring from time to time. Transfer to the bowl with the almonds.

 

Roughly chop the dried cherries and dates. Stir into the oat mixture. Stir in the protein powder and salt.

In a small pan melt together the coconut oil, sugar and maple syrup. Let boil for 2-3 minutes, then pour over the mixture in the bowl and stir well.

 

Transfer to a lined baking dish. Place a piece of baking paper on top and press down firmly all over. You can use the side of a glass to do this. Place in the freezer to set.

 

Remove from freezer and cut into squares, then store in an airtight container either at room temperature or in the freezer.

 

Tip: if making for eating before or after exercise then use 1 tsp salt, otherwise 1/2 tsp is fine.

 

Makes 15 oblongs or 10 smaller squares.
