• 1 cup pecans
• 1 cup almonds
• 2 tbsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup raisins

Soak dates in boiling water for 15 min and drain.

Remove mixture from food processor and combine raisins.

Place mixture into a baking tin lined with baking paper/greaseproof paper and allow to harden in the fridge for a few hours.

Tip: A reader suggested dusting the bars with some coconut flour before individually wrapping them for long rides. This prevents them from sticking, particularly in warmer climates.
