1. Pre-heat your oven to 325F/160C/gas mark 3.
2. Line an 8×8 square tin with baking/parchment paper.
3. In a food processor, blend the oats until fine, then place in a large bowl.
4. Add the dates and water to the processor and blend until you have a nice smooth consistency. Drop in the vanilla extract now.
5. Now add the liquid to the oats, followed by the rest of the ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon until all combined.
6. Transfer this to your prepared tin and smooth out until you have a flat, smooth surface. Bake in the oven for around 25 minutes. It will become nice and firm when you press it.
7. Once done, leave to sit for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
