Ingredients

1 cup oats 2 cups medjool dates
3/4 cup chocolate protein powder
6 tbsp honey
8 tbsp almond milk
1 large tbsp peanut butter
1/4 cup peanuts

Method

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 6 inch baking tray with grease proof paper. Chop the dates in a food processor until they are broken up.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Add the oats, protein powder and peanut butter to the food processor and combine with the dates.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Add the honey to the mixture 1 tbsp at a time, once all the honey has been added, add the peanuts and chop them through. The mixture should be crumbly but sticky.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Add the almond milk 1 tbsp at a time until the mixture thickens and binds together into a paste.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Tip the mixture into the baking tray and use the back of a wet tablespoon to press the mixture into the corners. Use the spoon to compress the mixture as much as possible, the more you can pack the mixture in the denser your bars will turn out. Bake for 10-15 minutes. See notes.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• When cooked, leave to cool for 20 minutes in the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
