Perfect as a pre-exercise energy booster, these squares are super easy to make and deliver sustained energy without the crash. Swap the sugar-packed bars for Oat & Pistachio Squares, they're a naturally energising treat made with wholesome oats and nutrient-rich pistachios.
What you'll need:
- 135g raw shelled pistachio nuts
- 80g raw oats
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 60ml maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 30g unsweetened coconut flakes
- 45g chopped pistachios for the topping
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas mark 4 and line a 23 cm square pan with baking paper.
- In a blender, blend the pistachio nuts, oats, and salt for about 30 seconds, until fine.
- Pour in the maple syrup and olive oil while blending until the mixture forms a crumbly but moist dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the pan and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the coconut flakes and remaining pistachios on top. Bake for a further 5 to 7 minutes until the coconut is lightly toasted and the dough is cooked through. The dough should still be fairly soft.
- Once cooled, carefully lift the contents out of the pan by holding the baking paper. Cut it into 12 squares.
- Store the squares in a sealed container (they will last at least a week in a cool, dry environment).
