Instructions

Step 1

Mix the almonds, figs, oats, seeds, coconut and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Step 2

In a jug, mix the sweetener [if using] and coconut oil with 100ml [7 tbsp] water [the water shouldn’t be too cold otherwise the oil may turn solid again]. Stir the coconut oil mixture into the dry ingredients until combined. Place the ‘dough’ in an airtight rectangular container and spread it evenly on the base of the container, pressing it down with your fingers. Smooth the surface with a spoon, then cover with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Step 3

Cut the solid ‘dough’ still in the container into 6 bars or 12 smaller bites with a knife, then invert the container to remove them. You can knock the bottom of the inverted box if the bars get stuck, as this won’t break them. Enjoy as snacks or crumble the bars into pieces to eat on top of yogurt or chia porridge instead of muesli or granola.

Step 4

Store in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 2 days.
