Introduce the recipe for healthy protein bars made with oats.

Mention that the bars can be consumed for breakfast or as a snack.

Use 1.5 cups of instant oats and dry roast them in a pan over low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the oats from the heat and let them cool slightly.

In a blender, add 3/4 cup of pitted soft dates and half a cup of the roasted oats, then blend until smooth.

In a separate bowl, add 3 tablespoons of peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips, then melt them in the microwave for 30 seconds, mix, and repeat two more times until fully melted.

Combine the blended date and oat mixture with the melted peanut butter and chocolate mixture, and add the remaining oats, mixing thoroughly.

Prepare a tin by lining it with butter paper or greasing it with ghee/butter, then transfer the mixture into the tin and press down firmly to compact it.

Optionally, sprinkle pumpkin seeds and chopped walnuts on top and press them in.

Cover the mixture with butter paper or cling wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to set, or overnight if preferred.

After setting, remove from the tin using the butter paper and cut into bars of desired size using a sharp knife.

Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.
