2 heaped tbsp nut butter (I used almond butter)

100 g dark chocolate (60%+ cocoa), chopped

4 heaped tbsp honey

2 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats

1/2 cup coconut thread

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup dried apricots, raisins or sultanas, roughly chopped

Method

1.Heat oven to 160ºC. Line a Swiss roll tin with baking paper.

2.Place the nut butter, chocolate and honey in a saucepan, then heat gently until the chocolate is melted.

3.Pulse half of the rolled oats in a food processor to chop them slightly finer than they come. Mix together the oats, coconut, salt and dried fruit in a bowl, then pour over the melted ingredients. Mix well, then press into your prepared tin. Bake for 30 minutes.

4.Cool completely before slicing into bars and dusting with raspberry powder. Store in an airtight container.
