150 g rolled oats
1 tbsp desiccated coconut
50g cup rapeseed oil
1.5 bananas
3 dates
4 tbsp orange / apple juice
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees and line a baking dish with some parchment paper.
- Put the oats in a food processor and mix for a few seconds to break them down a bit. Transfer the oats into a large bowl and mix in the desiccated coconut.
- In a blender blitz the melted rapeseed oil, bananas, dates and fruit juice until it forms a sticky paste. Pour this on top of the oat mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Scoop the mixture into the dish and press down with the back of the spoon to make it compact.
- Bake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until the edges of the mixture are beginning to brown.
- Lift out of the dish with the parchment paper and leave to cool before removing the parchment and cutting into 8 to 10 pieces.
