Ingredients
- 120g/4oz rolled oats
- 30g/1oz unsweetened puffed rice (not crisped rice cereal)
- 75g/2½oz toasted flaked almonds
- 25g/1oz mixed seeds
- 130g/4½oz stoned dates, chopped
- 50g/1¾oz dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 40g/1½oz raisins or dried berries of your choice
- 100g/3½oz crunchy peanut butter
- 90g/3¼oz The Scottish Bee Company honey
Method:
Line a 20cm/8in or 23cm/9in square tin with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
Spread the oats out onto a baking tray and bake them for about 10 minutes until they smell nice and toasty. Set aside to cool.
Mix together the toasted oats, puffed rice, almonds, seeds, chopped dates, chocolate chips, and raisins in a large bowl.
Melt the peanut butter and honey together in a small saucepan over a gentle heat. Stir until the mixture thoroughly combined. While still warm, stir the peanut butter and honey into the oat mixture (you may need to get your hands in there) to completely coat all the oats, nuts and fruit.
Tip the mixture into the lined tin and press firmly to make an even layer. Place the tin into the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up before cutting into 15 bars. Wrap each bar in cling film to keep them fresh, and they’re ready to pop into a packed lunch.
