A small treat rather than a protein hit — pair with yoghurt or a glass of milk for more protein. A slab of fibre, healthy fats and slow-release energy. Cut into bars and stash a few in your bag — perfect after a workout or for the 4pm slump.

Method
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C / 340°F and line a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
2
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until evenly combined and sticky.
3
Press firmly into the tin in an even layer — really compact it so the bars hold together.
4
Bake for 18–20 minutes until the edges are golden.
5
Cool completely in the tin before lifting out and slicing into 10 bars. Store in an airtight tin for up to a week.
