CHECK OUT OUR TWO CEREAL BAR RECIPES. A CONCENTRATION OF ENERGY AND GET-UP-AND-GO THAT YOU CAN KEEP IN AN AIRTIGHT BOX AS A TREAT ON YOUR HIKE!
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.

PREPARATION
