Ingredients

• 150 grams Rolled oats
• 50 grams Almond meal
• 100 grams Chopped dried dates
• 100 grams Chopped dried apricots
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 milliliters Fresh orange juice
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x20cm (8x8-inch) square baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond meal, chopped dates, chopped apricots, chopped walnuts, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Stir until well combined, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and fresh orange juice to the honey mixture. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly coated and stick together.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or your hands.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the slice feels set.

Step 8

Remove the tin from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the tin. This step is essential for the slice to firm up.

Step 9

Once cooled, lift the slice out of the tin using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

Store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
