Walnut bars are the perfect in-between snack or quick breakfast. Many nuts and seeds contain valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein and fiber.

• 100 g of dried soft dates
• 100 ml of water
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 25 grams of chia seeds
• 40 gm cashew kernel
• 35 grams of hazelnut kernels
• 25 grams of pumpkin seeds
• 50 grams of oat flakes
• 25 grams of peanut butter

• Preheat the oven to 180°C. Boil dates in water for five minutes.
• Puree the dates with the cooking water and cinnamon using a hand blender until creamy. Add chia seeds. Let the mixture swell for ten minutes.
• Tip: Chia seeds can also be substituted for ground flaxseeds.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop the nuts and mix well with the oatmeal, peanut butter, and date puree until the mixture is well blended and sticky.
• Spread the nut mixture 1 cm thick on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and press down. The surface must be smooth. Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. After 20 minutes, take out the tray, cut the mass into bars with a knife and finish baking.
• The bars can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days in an airtight jar.
• Tip: Bars are a healthy snack, but they’re also energy-dense. If you want to lose weight, you should not eat more than one bar per day.
