A little for the planet : choose organic, local ingredients whenever you can.

Let’s make it

1. Line a roughly 20 × 20 cm tin with baking paper. The mixture will make 10 bars about 2 cm thick.
2. Prepare plain pea protein and peanuts. If the dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
3. Combine rolled oats, plain pea protein, peanuts and puffed soy. Stir peanut butter and dates together, then fold into the dry ingredients. Add water a teaspoon at a time if the mixture is too crumbly.
4. Press firmly into the tin, about 2 cm thick. Chill for at least 2 hours until the slab holds together.
5. After chilling, lift the slab out and cut into 10 bars. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Tip : Pea protein absorbs liquid; add water gradually, never all at once.
