Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan.
  2. Warm the almond butter and date syrup until pourable, then stir into the oats, chopped apricots, pistachios, egg and cinnamon.
  3. Press hard into the pan and bake 18-20 minutes, until the edges are browned and the middle is firm to a press. Cool completely in the pan before cutting, or they tear.
Chef’s tipPress the mixture down hard in the pan before it bakes; bars that crumble were never compacted enough.
KeepKeeps 5 days in an airtight container. Freezes 2 months. Warm from frozen in a 160°C (325°F) oven for 8 minutes.
SwapNo pistachios? Walnuts or sunflower seeds.
