Back to School Series: Granola Bites

Now coming back to school means that I tend to eat more biscuits... if that is even possible. And trying to come across healthy biscuit/cereal bars is very difficult. HOWEVER, in Tesco they sell these things called "Seedy, Crispy, Nutty Bites" or something along those lines.

But they are ridiculously expensive for something so small and cheap to produce, thus I had to recreate them with my own little twist.

Ingredients:
100g raisins/sultanas
120g rolled oats
40g brown sugar
150g chopped mixed nuts
25g sunflower seeds
1 tbsp poppy seeds
20g desiccated coconut
115g butter
60g honey
60g golden syrup

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
2. Heat the syrup, honey, sugar and butter in a pan




3. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and pour the melted mixture in to the bowl and combine. If the mixture doesn't look dense enough add a tbsp more oats.




4. Shape the mixture into small balls and place on a greased tray.


5. Bake for around 8 minutes and leave to cool.
6. Allow to cool and then remove from tray.

Now, I would have a beautiful array of pictures of the end product but unfortunately there were some technical difficulties...

Anyway, although these aren't the most healthy snacks in the world, they are better for you than chocolate chip cookies so to me they are the epitome of health.

Until next time,
