Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the oats, almonds and sunflower seeds on the baking tray, bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown stirring occasionally. 5 minutes before the tray needs removing from the oven, add the desiccated coconut. When ready, carefully remove from the oven and leave to cool.

In a small saucepan, mix the peanut butter, coconut oil and agave syrup together and warm over a medium heat until melted. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Add the dates, cacao nibs, oats, nuts, seeds and fruit to a mixing bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture on top, stir thoroughly and mash the dates to help the mixture stick together.

Spoon the mixture on to the prepared baking tray, spread evenly, place baking paper on top and use a rolling pin or glass to pack the mixture together.

Place in the freezer for half an hour, cut into rectangles and store in the fridge.
