Servings: 16 bars
Calories: 144kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup wholemeal flour
- ½ cup dates chopped
- ¼ cup sultanas
- ½ cup walnuts - processed to chop them up finely
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
- ¾ cup grated apple skin on
- ¾ cup grated pear skin on
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160C(320F) fan-forced and grease and line a 20cm square baking tin.
- Line a separate baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Tip the mixture into the tin and spread out with a spatula then press firmly on top to compact the mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until browned.
- As soon as you can without burning yourself, take the slab out of the tin and cut into 16 bars.
- Place the bars on the baking tray leaving a little gap between each one and bake for a further 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Bars will keep for 3-4 days in an air-tight container in the fridge or can be frozen (I just threw them in a zip-lock bag).
