- Prepare plain pea protein and pumpkin seeds. If the dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
- Combine rolled oats, plain pea protein, pumpkin seeds and unsweetened cocoa. 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.
- Press firmly into the tin, about 2 cm thick. Chill for at least 2 hours until the slab holds together.
- After chilling, lift the slab out and cut into 10 bars. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
