You’ve just done an early morning exercise session and you are short on time. Gotta eat something but what? Well then – why not this! These yummy Protein Oat Slices are full of nutrition to get your day started right – I mean – you’ve done the exercise, you might as well go all the way and back it up with some healthy food!
Add dates to a magic bullet or equivalent food blender But don’t process yet
Pour boiled water over dates to cover them.
Then blend till they are puréed
Mix dates purée, peanut butter and milk together in separate bowl
In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
Add frozen blueberries to bowl and then fold through
Add wet mix ingredients to dry ingredients and fold through.
Keep mixing through. It will take some time. At first the mix will seem dry but as the oats soak in the moisture it will moisten. If still dry, add a splash of milk. The key is not having the mixture too wet!
Line a rectangular baking tray with baking paper and add mix to try. Make sure you press the mix into the corners and smooth down the top
Place in oven for approximately 25min
Once the top is looking golden brown and firm to touch, remove from oven and leave to cool on a cooling rack
