Ingredients
 
 

Bottom Layer:

  • 1 large beetroot cooked and peeled
  • 2 bananas
  • 175 g oats
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 100 g nuts (I used a mixture of almonds and hazelnuts)

Top Layer:

  • 70 g nuts roughly chopped (I used a mixture of almonds and hazelnuts)
  • 70 g mixed berries (fresh or frozen - blackcurrants, blueberries or redcurrants work well)
  • 45 g oats
  • 50 g seeds (I used a mixture of linseeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoon plant milk (oat, soya or nut)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4.
  • Prepare the bottom layer - in a blender or food processor, blitz the bananas to a purée then tip into a bowl.
  • Blitz the cooked beetroot and add to the banana.
  • Blitz the oats then add to the bowl then do the same with the nuts.
  • Finally, add the maple syrup, stir well until fully combined.
  • Line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin (or approximately similar size) with greaseproof paper or baking parchment, and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Roughly chop the nuts for the top layer, (I prefer to do this by hand rather than in a food processor as you want them to stay fairly chunky).
  • Tip into a bowl and add the berries, oats and seeds.
  • Add the maple syrup and plant milk to the bowl, mix well to combine then spread evenly over the bottom layer.
  • Return to the oven for a further 12-15 minutes until starting to turn golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and leave in the tin to cool. Then slice into individual bites or bars and enjoy!
