Preheat the oven to 160 degrees fan forced (or 180 degrees conventional). Grease and line a 18cm x 28cm rectangular slice tin and set aside.
Place the chopped dates into a saucepan with the water. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until softened and the consistency has started to thicken.
Add the bi-carb soda and stir to combine (it will froth up).
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, LSA and honey and stir to combine. If the slice is a little too dry or wet, simply add more oats or water.
Press the mixture firmly into the slice tin.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until slightly golden and firm to the touch.
Allow to cool in the tray.
Drizzle over the dark chocolate.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Ingredient Notes:

Rolled oats or quick oats - either are fine to use in this recipe.
LSA is a ground mixture of linseeds, sunflower seeds and almonds.This blend creates a tasty, nutty mixture that contains essential fats (omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids), as well as Vitamin B and fibre. You can blend your own if you wish.
Dairy free option - you could source a 'dairy-free' chocolate. Another alternative would be to use carob instead of chocolate.

More Recipe Tips:

This slice is not overly sweet - and it will stay soft as it has a similar texture to a dense banana bread.
Storing - this slice can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing - wrap well in foil, either whole or as pieces, in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost completely before consuming.
