Ingredients

1. 1 1/5 cups rolled oats
2. 1/3 cup flax seeds
3. 1 cup dates
4. 1/2 cup of your favourite seeds and nuts (I used "oranganic mixed nuts and seeds")
5. 1/3 cup protein powder
6. 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
7. 2/3 cup organic manuka honey

Instructions

1. Toast the rolled oats in the oven at 180C until golden/crisp
2. In the meantime blend/grind the dates until soft and smooth
3. Melt peanut butter and honey in microwave in a heatproof bowl / pyrex
4. In a mixing bowl, add toasted oats, flax seed, nuts and seeds, protein powder
5. Mix these dry ingredients with a wooden spoon
6. Add the date paste and the peanut butter honey mixture and mix together until smooth
7. Pour mixture into a baking dish and press super firmly down to make a real hard substance
8. Now refrigerate for about 2 hrs (or freeze for 1 hr)
9. Cut into bars of preferred size and wrap individually

Notes

1. If the oats are quite dry, pre soak them in warm water
2. I lined a baking dish with glad wrap so that I can easily press the mixture firm without getting sticky hands)
3. Make sure you REALLY PRESS FIRMLY…. otherwise your muesli bar won’t have the right consistency and it will be a “crumbly fall apart bar”. USE YOUR MUSCLES!
