Ingredients
- 150 g - gluten-free rolled oats
- 75 g - dried mango, finely diced
- 40 g - unsweetened coconut flakes
- 40 g - cashews or almonds (cheaper alternatives to macadamia)
- 4 - tbsp maple syrup (about 60ml)
- 3 - tbsp coconut oil, melted (about 45ml)
- 1 - tsp vanilla extract
- - Pinch of salt
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line your loaf tin with parchment paper
- 2. Spread oats, coconut, and nuts on a baking tray and toast in oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring halfway. Watch carefully to prevent burning
- 3. In a small pan, gently warm maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla just until combined
- 4. In a large bowl, mix toasted oats, coconut, chopped nuts, and diced mango
- 5. Pour over the warm syrup mixture and stir thoroughly until everything is well coated
- 6. Press mixture VERY firmly into your lined tin - use the back of a spoon or bottom of a glass to really compress it (this is crucial for bars that don't crumble)
- 7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden at edges
- 8. Cool completely in tin (about 1 hour), then refrigerate for 30 minutes before cutting into 6 bars
