Method

1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square pan.
2. Warm the almond butter and date syrup until pourable, then stir into the oats, chopped apricots, pistachios, egg and cinnamon.
3. Press hard into the pan and bake 18-20 minutes, until the edges are browned and the middle is firm to a press.
4. Cool completely in the pan before cutting, or they tear.
