Apple and Cinnamon Breakfast Bars

Ingredients:

200g rolled oats 

75g coconut flour

90g vanilla protein powder

60g ground flaxseed

2 tbsp ground cinnamon

240g pitted medjool dates (roughly 14 dates), chopped

220g unsweetened apple sauce

100g almond butter

75g coconut oil, melted

75ml boiling water

200g raisins

2 apples, cored and grated

Method

Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a 20cm x 30cm rectangular cake tin with greaseproof paper. Combine the oats, coconut flour, protein powder, ground flaxseed and cinnamon in a large bowl and set aside.

Put the dates, apple sauce, almond butter, coconut oil and boiling water into a liquidiser and blend to a smooth purée. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in the raisins and grated apple then spoon into the lined tin. Using the back of a spoon spread everything out in an even layer then bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Leave to cool in the tin then turn out, remove the paper and cut into rectangles. Wrap each bar individually in cling film and store in an airtight container for up to five days. Any spare bars will freeze well.

Tip

These bars freeze really well. Freeze them on a tray lined with greaseproof paper, then once they're frozen transfer to them to a larger freezer bag. That way they won't stick together, and they'll be easier to defrost.
