- 50 g Stoned, dried dates
- 50 g Stoned, dried prunes
- 30 g Water
- 50 g Virgin coconut oil - I use Coconut Merchant
- 20 g Molasses
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 100 g Nature's Path Mesa Sunrise
- 15 g Pumpkin Seeds
- 15 g Sunflower Seeds
Instructions
- Place the dates and prunes into a small food processor and pulse until a smooth thick paste forms. Add the water to form a smoother paste
- Add the coconut oil and molasses to the fruit paste and continue to pulse until combined
- Finally add the cinnamon, Mesa Sunrise, pumpkin and sunflower seeds and pulse again so that some of the Mesa Sunrise flakes are very small while some retain their original size
- Line a 20cm x 10cm dish with baking paper and then tip the mixture into the dish. Spread with clean fingers and press down
- Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees C/160 degree fan/Gas Mark 4 for 15 minutes
