    1 1 In a heatproof bowl place the dates with the baking soda, then pour over 1 cup boiling water. Set aside to soak for 10 minutes, then drain well.

    2 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan and line a 20x30cm tin with baking paper.

    3 In a food processor, whiz the drained dates, peanut butter, egg whites and agave syrup until quite smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir through all the oats until they’re well coated.

    4 Press the mixture evenly into the prepared tin, using a metal spoon dipped in water to smooth the surface. Bake for 20–22 minutes until golden. Cut into 15 squares, then leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and allow to cool completely.
