Oat, Seed & Date Bars #BrendaJanschek

What’s not to love about Date and oat bar stuffed with walnuts?
These delicious bars are from the lovely food blogger Brenda Janschek.
Good to make a batch, eat half and then freeze to stockpile ! #jokingnotjoking

You need for 10 bars or 30 models:
100 grams butter
1/3 cup coconut or rapadura sugar
1/2 cup Medjool dates, chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
1 cup spelt flour
1 cup oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
• Grease and line a 9 x 22cm loaf tin with parchment paper.
• Melt butter in small saucepan, once melted keep on very low heat and whisk in the sugar until smooth.
• Turn heat off, add dates and stir through. I highly recommend dipping the finger in to make sure it tastes ok.
• Transfer to a large bowl and stir in egg and vanilla.
• Add flour, oats, chia and sunflower seeds and stir until combined.
• If mixture appears too wet, add in more oats and flour and stir through
• Pour into loaf tin and bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool in pan for 5 minutes, turn out onto a wire rack.
• Once cool, slice into bars and pop into lunchboxes.
• Can be frozen.
• Yum !
