BREAKFAST BARS RECIPE
(makes 12 bars - around 65g each)
Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats (270g)
1 cup peanut butter (250g)
1/4 cup honey, agave or maple syrup (60ml)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (65g)
1/4 cup lower-in sugar fruit jam (70g)
1/2 tsp salt
NUTRITIONAL INFO (per bar):
231 calories, fat 12.2g, carb 25g, protein 8.1g
Preparation:
First, toast your oats in dry skillet for 3-4 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, your liquid sweetener, applesauce and salt. It should be smooth, so if using solid peanut butter soften over heat for 2 minutes.
Pour the oats into the peanut butter mixture and gently mix with a spatula.
Stir in your favorite fruit jam (preferably homemade or lower in sugar) and mix everything until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a lined baking pan (I use 8x8 inch or 20x20cm), press with a spatula or using an extra piece of parchment paper.
Place in the fridge to set, for at least 2 hours or even better overnight.
Remove from pan and cut into bars using a sharp knife.
Enjoy!

Recipe
These are school-safe (no nuts) granola bars that use as little fat as possible – much better than the processed versions.
Yield: 12 to 16
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
1 ½ cups (120 g) rolled oats (not instant or quick cook)
1 cup (100 g) quinoa flakes (or spelt, barley or further oats flakes)
½ cup (170 g) honey
¼ cup (45 g) virgin coconut oil
zest of 1 orange
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
½ tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
pinch salt
½ cup (60 g) unsalted, roasted shelled pumpkin seeds
¼ cup (30 g) unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds
½ cup (70 g) dried cranberries
½ cup (80 g) raisins
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and grease an 8-inch square pan and line it with parchment paper so that it comes up the sides of the pan.
2. Spread the oats and quinoa flakes (or other flakes) onto the baking tray and toast for about 12 minutes, stirring once, until lightly browned.
3. While the grains are toasting, heat the honey, coconut oil, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until the coconut oil has melted. Place the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and raisins in a large mixing bowl.
4. Pour the toasted grains into the bowls with the seeds and fruit and add the warm honey mixture. Stir this well to fully coat everything and scrape this into the prepared pan. Press the granola mixture VERY firmly into the pan (using a flat dish helps to do so without sticking) – this ensures the bars will hold together when sliced. Bake the bars for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Cool the granola bars in the pan before slicing.
The granola bars will keep, well-wrapped and at room temperature, for a week, or they can be frozen for up to a month.
