Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup hazelnuts, chopped
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 8 large medjool dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup tahini
Instructions
  1. Line 8"x 8" baking dish with some parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place pitted medjool dates into a bowl with hot water and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together oats, desiccated coconut, chopped hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and sea salt. Set aside.
  4. Drain soaked medjool dates and mash with a fork. Gently melt coconut oil and add together with tahini to the dates. Mix everything together until combined into a smooth paste. It's easier when the ingredients are still warm.
  5. Add the paste to the dry mix and mix together until you have a sticky mixture.
  6. Spoon into your prepared lined dish and smooth out evenly. Press the mix tightly down with a back of a spoon or use palm of your hand.
  7. Place into a freezer for 30 minutes to set until hard.
  8. Remove from the dish and carefully cut into 12 bars.
  9. Store in a fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
  10. Enjoy!
