Ingredients

  • 2 Weet-Bix™, crushed
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
  • 1 cup dried pitted dates, diced (150g)
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • pinch salt

Method

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, pour boiling water over dates and set aside for 5 minutes until cool. Use a fork to roughly mash dates and liquid to a paste.

  2. Step 2

    Add peanut butter to dates and stir well. Add Weet-Bix and oats, stir again until mixture comes together into a dough.

  3. Step 3

    Line base and two sides of a 20cm tin with a strip of baking paper. Press mixture into pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from pan and cut into 36 squares (6 x 6). Store in fridge or freezer.

Tips

  • Dough can also be rolled into balls, rather than cut into bites, if preferred.
  • Fresh medjool dates can be used in place of dried dates, remember to remove pits.
