Breakfast Bars

• 250 g dates
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
• 75 g goji berries
• 75 g pumpkin seeds
• 150 g flaxseeds
• 50 g cocoa nibs
• 25 g chia seeds
• 25 g cornflakes
• 100 g porridge oats (organic)

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4, and line the bottom and sides of a 20cm/8in square tin with baking parchment.
2. Pit the dates and tear them with your fingers into a small saucepan, add the cinnamon, cover with 325ml/11fl oz cold water, bring to the boil and let bubble for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and beat with a fork until you have a rough puree.
3. Put all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl, add the date mixture and mix until everything is combined. I wear a pair of disposable vinyl gloves for this.
4. Squodge into your prepared tin and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until firm and set, and golden on top and darker around the edges. Leave to cool in the tin before cutting into pieces.
