Macrobiotic 100% Oatmeal Bar!

• 400 ml Oatmeal
• 100 ml Nuts & raisins
• 2 tbsp Kinako
• 50 ml Soy milk (or water)
• 1 tbsp Canola oil (or olive oil)
• 1 tbsp Maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 pinch Salt

1. Add the oatmeal to a heat resistant container and heat for 3 minutes.
2. Once the moisture has evaporated the oatmeal should become quite dry and loose.
3. It's ok if the oatmeal doesn't become very soft but it will be easier to use later on if it is.
4. Once the oatmeal has cooled, add half of it to a food processor and blend, or use a pestle and mortar to grind it down.
5. If you're using a food processor, blend it for approximately 10 seconds.
6. Add the maple syrup (or honey) to the soy milk (or water) and mix well until dissolved.
7. (If you want to heat the mixture in the microwave to do this, feel free.)
8. Once the milk mixture has cooled, add the canola oil (or olive oil) a little at a time and mix.
9. Add the salt.
10. Add the blended oatmeal from Step 2 into the milk mixture and mix well.
11. Add in the rest of the oatmeal, along with the nuts and raisins, folding everything together with a spatula.
12. Gather the dough into a ball and pack the mixture tightly into a square tin or baking tray, trying to make the layer as thin as possible.
13. Add the mixture to an oven preheated to 170C and bake at that temperature for 20-25 minutes.
14. When it's baked, cut it up while it is still warm.
15. Let chill.
16. Once cooled, store in tupperware or keep wrapped in cling film.
