Ingredients

7 servings

250g shredded wheat
220g apple sauce
150ml water
15g coconut oil
100g agave or maple syrup
240g pitted dates, finely chopped
200g raisins
100g dried apricots, roughly chopped
120g protein powder, vanilla or unflavoured
60g ground flaxseed

Method

Line a 20cm x 30cm rectangular cake tin with greaseproof paper. Crush the shredded wheat into a large bowl and set aside. Combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour into the bowl with the shredded wheat and stir to coat.

Press the mixture into the lined tin then leave to cool. Refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting into individual bars.

Tips

Wrap each bar individually in cling film and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

This recipe makes multiple portions and the bars freeze really well. Freeze them on a tray lined with greaseproof paper, then once they’re rozen transfer to them to a large freezer bag. That way they won’t stick together and they’ll be easier to defrost.
