Ingredients

  • 375 mL (1 ½ cups) large flake oats
  • 125 mL (½ cup) chopped almonds (optional)
  • 250 mL (1 cup) bran flakes
  • 250 mL (1 cup) dates, pitted
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) honey
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) natural almond or peanut butter or non-nut alternative

Directions

1

In a large non-stick skillet, toast oats and almonds, if using, over medium heat. Stir often for about 8 minutes or until light golden and fragrant. Pour into a large bowl and let cool slightly; stir in bran flakes.

2

In a food processor, pulse dates until finely chopped.

3

In a small saucepan, heat honey and almond butter over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Add dates and stir to combine.

4

Pour honey mixture over oats and stir until dates are distributed evenly throughout and oats are coated well.

5

Press mixture into a 23 cm/9 in parchment or foil lined baking pan and press to flatten evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Cut into bars.
