Gingerbread Granola Bars

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 162C and line a square baking pan with baking paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and salt.

Add the dates to a food processor and pulse until small pieces form. Tip the dates into the oat mixture and stir.

In a small bowl, combine the syrup, molasses and coconut oil and warm in the microwave for around 30 seconds and mix together.

Pour the mixture into the oats and stir until the ingredients are coated and start to stick together.

Scoop the mixture into the prepared tin and press the mixture down to smooth. Place in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes for chewy granola bars or 30 minutes for crunchier bars.
