- STEP 1
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan Gas 4 and grease a shallow 7" square tin/pan.
- STEP 2
Put the dates in a small pan with about 4 tablespoons of water and heat gently, stirring, until they form a stiff paste. If it's looking a little dry add more water and heat a bit more.
- STEP 3
Whilst that's happening you can measure out your oats in a separate bowl and add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, blueberries, spices and roughly mix them all together.
- STEP 4
Put the sugar, syrup, honey and butter into another large saucepan and heat gently, stirring to melt it all together. Add the oat mix and date paste then mix well.
- STEP 5
Press into your tin/pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until set and light golden brown. Cut into squares when warm but leave to cool in the tin.
- STEP 6
Store in an airtight container and use within a week, although I seriously doubt they'll last that long!
