TIPS AND TWEAKS

These granola bars are best stored in the fridge in an airtight container and will keep for up to two weeks. Alternatively, wrap each bar in cling film, and place in a zip lock bag in the freezer for up to three months.

To make this recipe vegan:
Replace the 2 egg whites with 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds with 6 tablespoons hot water and set aside until mixture thickens.

VARIATIONS

The nuts used in the above recipe can be substituted for others. Experiment with different nuts – try walnuts, cashews, pistachios, peanuts or sunflower seeds. Add some cacao nibs for a little chocolate hit. Chopped dried fruit can also be added, but this will increase the sugar content.

Instead of making granola bars, try rolling the mixture into balls (approximately, 1½ tablespoons) for a quick and healthy snack.
