Ingredients:

  • 350g dates, stones removed, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 100ml boiling water
  • 100g margarine
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 100g rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, roughly chopped
  • 3 Weet-Bix™ wheat biscuits, crumbled

Method:

  1. Soak the dates and sultanas in boiling water for 20-30 mins, until softened. Drain away excess water.

  5. Bake in oven at 180°C for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Allow to cool before slicing into squares. Store in an airtight container.
