These delicious oaty, flapjack like, oatmeal bars are full of wonderful ingredients combined together using a peanutty syrup to create a no-bake oat bar. Perfect for snacking or as an after dinner treat.
In a large bowl add the oats, hazelnuts, cranberries, cacao nibs, vanilla extract and salt. Stir together.
Use a food processor to process the dates until they get they become quite sticky. Test them by squeezing a little of the mixture together in your fingers - if it holds together it's ready.
Add the peanut butter and maple syrup to a small saucepan over a low heat, stir carefuly until they combine making a nutty syrup.
Tip the dates, and nutty syrup into the oat mixture and stir until all the ingredients are coated.
Line an 20cm square or 8 inch square baking tray with baking parchment and tip the mixture into it. Pack it down as evenly and firmly as you can. Use the base of a measuring cup to help.
Put the tray into the fridge for an hour, or until the mixture sets. Cut into bars.
