Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line a rectangular baking dish with baking paper.

Step 2 of 4

On a baking tray line it with baking paper. Place the oats, pepitas, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds into a bowl, give a good mix then spread them evenly onto the baking paper and put into the oven for about 8 minute until they are lightly browned – be careful not to burn them.

Step 3 of 4

Place the dates into a small bowl and soak them in boiling water from the kettle for about 5 minutes to soften them up.

Pour ingredients into baking dish and really flatten the mixture out and compress down with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle coconut on top and again press down with the back of a spoon. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes until set. Stores well in the fridge or freezer. Recipe by Kim Beach.
