Directions
Preheat the oven to 180C degrees. Line a 18x28cm slice tray with baking paper, make sure to extend paper at the sides for easy lifting.
Soak the dates in boiling water for 10 minutes until they become soft.
Add the softened dates into a blender together with the soaking water, blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
In a large bowl, crush the Weetbix, add in flour, cocoa, and desiccated coconut. Stir to combine.
Pour olive oil, honey, vanilla extract, and the date mixture into the large bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
Spread the mixture on the prepared baking tray, pressing it down until firm.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the slice is firm to touch.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tray. Once cooled, lift the baking paper from the tray and cut the slice into 12 pieces.
