With dates and cranberries
INGREDIENTS
- 150 g of quinoa flakes (or cereals of your choice: oats, wheat...)
- 50 g of cranberries (or dried fruit of your choice)
- 50 g of crushed almonds
- 15 pitted dates
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon of honey (or agave syrup)
- 1 tablespoon of flaxseed
PREPARATION
- Preheat your oven to setting 6 (180°C)
- Put the dates in a saucepan and pour in water to their level. Bring to the boil and continue cooking for about a minute. Mix in a blender until creamy.
- Add the crushed almonds and flaxseed in the blender, then the dried fruit previously cut into small pieces, then the quinoa flakes, and then the cinnamon and honey.
- Pour the preparation into a rectangular mould. Personally, I use the back of a spoon to flatten down the mix.
- Bake for about 20 minutes.
- A few minutes after taking out of the oven, cut the dough into regular-sized bars, without removing them. From experience, I advise waiting until the bars have cooled down before removing from the mould.
With seeds and chocolate chips
INGREDIENTS
- 200 g of oat flakes
- 50 g of seeds of your choice (sunflower, squash, flax, sesame...)
- 150 g of apple sauce
- 4 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons of honey
PREPARATION
- Preheat your oven to setting 6 (180°C)
- Mix the apple sauce, oatmeal and seeds. Add the chocolate chips and honey.
- Pour the preparation into a rectangular mould. Personally, I use the back of a spoon to flatten down the preparation.
- Put in the oven for between 15 and 20 minutes.
- A few minutes after removing from the oven, cut the dough into regular-sized bars, without removing them. From experience, I recommend waiting until the bars have cooled down before removing from the mound.
