Equipment
- immersion blender or use a fork
- saucepan
- 20 x 10 cm loaf tin
- baking paper
Ingredients
- 100 g dried dates
- boiling water
- 50 g butter or use coconut oil

- Melt the butter and honey in a pan. Remove from the heat as soon as the butter has melted. Add the oats and stir well to mix.
- Drain the water from the dates, and blitz to a paste with a hand blender. If you prefer, mash them with a fork.
