Super Snack Bars/Flapjack

7-8 Dried Apricots (you can use figs if you would rather, or more dates) – chopped small
7 Pitted Medjool Dates – chopped small
130g Mixed Nuts, unsalted – chopped small
50g Shredded Coconut – desiccated
25g Dried Goji Berries/Dried Cranberries
140g Almonds ground or Almond Meal
60g Protein Powder (or 60g extra Almonds)
3 Eggs
40g Honey (optional)
30g Water
15g Chia seeds
40g Sunflower seeds
20g Linseed/Flaxseed
30g Pumpkin seeds

  1. Grease a baking dish or tray approx. 30cm x 20cm and line with baking
    paper so that it comes up the sides a little.
  2. Put apricots, dates, mixed nuts, shredded coconut and goji into
    a mixing bowl.
  3. Add 140g almonds (add an extra 60g almonds if you aren’t using
    protein powder) and protein powder in a separate bowl and mix together.
  4. To the almonds bowl add eggs, honey and water and mix together.
  5. Put the reserved chopped ingredients back in and add all the other
    remaining ingredients and mix well.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the greased/lined baking dish or a brownie
    tray, wet hands and push down spreading evenly into the dish. Cook at
    160 C for around 20-25 MINS or until it starts to get golden on the top.
    Better to under-do than overdo this one as it can dry out and we want it
    to be nice and chewy.
  7. Once completely cooled, cut into 20-24 bars and store in the fridge. It also freezes well.
