Date, nut and oat slices.

These bars have become a staple since i have changed my nutrition, they are easy to make and taste great. High gi, but with added protein and carbs. Perfect for fuel on a long ride, and for that instant hit after a session, to kick start recovery. 

They can take on any flavour you want to add, I like to add some high quality dark chocolate to mine for that bitter sweet kick. 

The base of the bars it dates and Brazil's. 

Ingredients 

100ml boiling water 

300g dates 

200g almonds 

200g oats 

Extras - 

Honey

Dark chocolate 

Coconut 

Cinnamon

  

Instructions-

Start by boiling the kettle, and turning the oven onto 170. Also line a baking tin with baking paper. Then place the Brazil's and dates into the food processor. Pour the boiling waster over and leave them for 2 mins to soak. 

Once they have had a little time to soak, whiz the dates and Brazil's together. Watch out because the water likes to escape. Once combined add the oats and the added extra ingredients if you want to. 

Whiz up again till all combined well. To look like this. 

Pour into the lined baking tray and smooth out. Then place in the oven and bake for 10-15mins until a little firm in the middle. Then the oven off and leave it in the oven for 5 mins. Take out and leave it in the baking tray until cool. Then remove, and place onto a cooling rackets the baking paper still on. Once completely cool remove the baking paper and cut into what ever shapes you like.
