Ingredients
100
grams
butter
1/3
cup
coconut or rapadura sugar
1/2
cup
Medjool dates
chopped
1
egg
lightly beaten
1
teaspoon
vanilla powder or extract
1
cup
spelt flour
1
cup
oats
1
tablespoon
chia seeds
1
tablespoon
sunflower seeds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
Grease and line a 9 x 22cm loaf tin with parchment paper.
Melt butter in small saucepan, once melted keep on very low heat and whisk in the sugar until smooth.
Turn heat off, add dates and stir through. I highly recommend dipping the finger in to make sure it tastes ok.
Transfer to a large bowl and stir in egg and vanilla.
Add flour, oats, chia and sunflower seeds and stir until combined.
If mixture appears too wet, add in more oats and flour and stir through
Pour into loaf tin and bake for 20 minutes.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes, turn out onto a wire rack.
Once cool, slice into bars and pop into lunchboxes.
Can be frozen.
Notes
NB: If texture is an issue you can grind up the sunflower and chia seeds before adding to the mixture.
