Ingredients:
  • olive oil for greasing
  • 75 g shelled pistachios
  • 100 g mixed seeds
  • 250 g rolled oats
  • 8 Medjool dates
  • 100 g dried apricots
  • 50 g quality dark chocolate (70%)
  • 100 ml maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons smooth almond butter
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4 and prepare a 20cm x 20cm square baking tin by greasing and lining it. 2. Chop the pistachios and scatter them on a baking sheet along with the mixed seeds and oats. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until golden, turning occasionally. 3. While the nuts and seeds are roasting, destone and tear the dates, and chop the apricots and chocolate. 4. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine maple syrup, almond butter, dates, and 150ml of water. Heat for 10 minutes, mashing the dates with a spoon until you have a sticky sauce. 5. Combine the roasted nuts and seeds with the apricots, then pour over the sticky sauce mixture. Fold in the dark chocolate gently. 6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin, pressing it into an even layer. 7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden, then cut into portions.
