Method
- Preheat the oven to 165°C. Grease a 30 x 20 cm slice tin with spray oil, then line the base and sides with baking paper.
- Spread the oats, desiccated coconut and nuts (walnuts and almonds) over a non-stick baking tray, and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, turning with a spatula every 5 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and don’t catch and burn.
- Pour the apple juice into a saucepan and add the dates. Set over a medium heat until the dates have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the baking soda. Blend to a smooth puree using a hand-held blender.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats, coconut and nuts with the smooth puree and all of the other remaining ingredients (seeds, flour, cranberries, banana etc.).
- Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 40-50 minutes or until firm to the touch. Allow to set in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into 4 x 4 even sized pieces.
