This month Emma Marshall has shared with us her recipe for how to make delicious granola bars. They provide the ultimate on-the-go snack. Like Emma I also like to make my own as many that you buy tend to be highly processed and full of added sugars, oils, and additives. Making your own granola bars is easy, inexpensive, and healthy.
When made with the right ingredients they are a useful protein-packed snack option. Just one of these bars makes a filling snack, or you can use them as a fast breakfast if you are stuck for time in the morning. These chewy oat snacks are full of nuts and seeds that contain beneficial oils and minerals, and the oats contain fibre that helps support detoxification and a healthy gut microbiome.
In this recipe, Emma has used bananas. A great way to use up leftover ripe bananas and the perfect choice as a sweetener.
100g raw nuts – I use a mixed bag, but any will do.
180g rolled oats
75g pumpkin seeds
Large handful dried cranberries/raisins/goji berries
Pinch sea salt
3 tbsp maple syrup
100g nut butter – almond or good quality peanut butter
1 large ripe banana (or 2 small)
Zest 2 oranges
Happy snacking. They are also great to take on a picnic.
