Date slice






This is such a sweet, decadent slice without using any sugar, the dates alone give enough sweetness.

Method-

Base...it's all about that base.

Mix half a cup of oats and half a cup of almond meal
Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add in 2 teaspoons of olive oil, mix into oats and almond meal.

On a tray with greaseproof paper, press the base mixture flat, until is even across the tray, measuring just less than 1cm thick.

Put in the fridge to harden slightly. Remove after 1 hour and place date topping on the base.

Topping

Take 1 packet of dates (250grams), place in a mixing bowl or deep dish, cover with boiling water and leave to soak until soft...about 10 minutes. Drain dates, blend with a hand mixture then spread evenly on base mixture.

Top with fruit such as orange or leave without.
