These apricot and peanut sandwiches are the perfect, decadent snack. Rich peanut butter and date filling is spread over an apricot, oat and seed base, creating the perfect texture combination.

Ingredients:

    For the apricot bars
  • 400g dried apricots

  • 100g flaked almonds

  • 100g pumpkin seeds

  • 100g porridge oats

  • 2 tablespoons of brown rice syrup

    For the peanut filling
  • 5 tablespoons of peanut butter

  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

  • 14 Medjool dates

    pitted

  • pinch of sea salt

Method:

  1. 1

    Place all of the apricot bar ingredients into a powerful food processor and pulse until the mixture comes together to form a thick paste.
  2. 2

    Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into 2 lined baking trays and smooth over using the back of a spoon (it can be easier to smooth them down using a slightly wet spoon) - these will form both sides of your sandwiches.
  3. 3

    Place the baking trays in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
  4. 4

    While the apricot bars set, make the filling. Place the peanut butter, sea salt, maple syrup and coconut oil in a pan over a low heat and heat until a thick syrup has formed. Be careful to watch it as you don’t want it to burn.
  5. 5

    Once a thick syrup has formed, remove from the heat and leave to cool. Once cool, pour the mixture into a food processor and add the pitted dates. Blend the mixture until smooth.
  6. 6

    Once the apricot bars have set, remove from the fridge and smooth the peanut butter mixture over one of the trays, before placing the other apricot bar mixture on top.
  7. 7

    Place back in the fridge to set for 1 hour, before cutting into bite-sized snacks - we usually cut them into 24 pieces.
