Banana, walnut and sesame health bars
Sesame seeds may be tiny but they pack a flavour punch. These health bars make a fantastic energy snack for long bike rides, lunchboxes or runs on the weekend.
Ingredients
300g pitted dried dates
200g dried bananas, chopped
130g walnuts
2 tbsp tahini
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
3 tbsp puffed quinoa
Method
Step 1
Line a 21-centimetre-square container with baking paper.
Step 2
Soak the dates in water for 10 minutes then drain.
Step 3
Place the dates, banana, walnuts, tahini and vanilla in a food processor and process to a paste (it's fine if it still has some texture). Add the sesame seeds and quinoa and fold through the paste.
Step 4
Press mix into the lined container, refrigerate overnight, then cut into 16 squares.
