Peanut butter and date oatcakes

How long it keeps

About 6 months, set by Peanut butter.

Indicative, for planning a build before you buy. The answer for a pack you already own is the best before date printed on it, and that only holds if it has been stored as the label says.

Ingredients

Five minutes, no heat, and roughly the most calories per gram of anything here, which on a long walking day is the entire point.

  1. Spread the oatcakes thickly with peanut butter.
  2. Chop the dates small and press them into it.
  3. Sesame seeds scattered over, a few grains of salt.

Toasting the sesame first is worth the two minutes if a pan is already hot for something else. Untoasted they are texture without flavour.

The salt matters. Peanut butter and dates together are flatly sweet without it, and a few grains is the difference.
