breakfast barsWe are always looking for quick, delicious and healthy breakfasts. These bars fit the bill! Enjoy

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pecan flour (any other nut or legume flour would do)
  • 1 cup sorghum flour (substitute rice if you don’t have or barley if gluten is OK)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp xanthum gum (unless you used barley or wheat flour)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp egg replacer whisked into 4 Tbsp warm water (or 2 eggs if you can)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp milk of your choice
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or you could do hemp hearts, nuts, or other dried fruits if you don’t think that chocolate goes with breakfast)

What to do:

  1. Combine all dry ingredients (flours, oats, baking powder, xanthm gum, salt, cinnamon) into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add in the maple syrup, eggs or egg replacer, olive oil, vanilla extract and milk. Combine until smooth but still thick.
  3. Mix in your raisins and chips.
  4. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).
  5. Slice into bars once cooled, we did 9 bars, and serve with fruit and a cup of tea 🙂
