Simple Steps to Slice

1. Place apricots, dates, and coconut into a food processor.

2. Blend until the mixture resembles fine crumbs that hold together when pressed.

3. Be careful not to overblend, as this will turn it into a paste.

4. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

5. Press the mixture firmly into the tin using the back of a spoon or glass.

6. Refrigerate for one hour until set.

7. Slice into squares and, if you like, sprinkle with extra coconut before serving.

The Natural Goodness Inside

Apricots are naturally rich in plant compounds that give them their bright colour and sweet flavour. Dates bring gentle caramel notes while adding fibre, which helps create the chewy texture that makes these bars so moreish. Coconut contributes a light tropical taste and healthy fats, rounding out this simple recipe.
