Date and peanut oat bars

Method

  1. Line a 15 cm square tin with baking paper. Roughly chop the peanuts.
  2. Take out any date stones and soak the dates in 100 ml of hot water for 10 minutes. Blend them with their soaking water to a thick paste.
  3. Scrape the paste into a medium pan with the peanut butter and maple syrup and warm over a low heat for 2 minutes, stirring, until loose and glossy.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the oats and peanuts until everything is coated.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, until firm.
  6. Lift out and cut into 6 bars.

Tip Press the mix down hard; loosely packed bars crumble when cut.
