1. Line a square tin with parchment paper (8x8” or 20x20cm) and set aside.

2. Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl and the wet in a smaller one.

3. Add the wet to the dry and mix together until all combined.

4. Transfer the tin and press to about a cm thickness or more depending on how thin or thick you’d like your bars to be.

5. Freeze for about 15 minutes, slice and enjoy!

Store in an airtight container or in the freezer and take a few out as needed.
