I am a little hooked on these homemade versions of Crunchies. They are very addictive and very simple to make. I made them gluten free by using GF cornflakes and GF oats. You only need a few ingredients, melting, mixing and some time in the fridge.
You could try replacing the golden syrup with agave syrup for a less processed version and using dark chocolate. Whatever way you decide, they will be delicious!
Shop bought energy bars can be expensive and sometimes contain processed ingredients so these home made ones are a perfect solution. You can use the same basic ingredients and tweak to suit your tastes and needs.
As this was my first time making them, I changed only a few bits from the original recipe but next time, I will be making them with added seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I would prefer dried cranberries to raisins, but that’s a personal choice. The dates are the one ingredient you can’t change as they create the bind you need to make the bars.
This is a great recipe for those who want a wheat or gluten free dessert with maximum impact and not a huge amount of effort. You could replace the strawberries with raspberries or mixed berries too. You only need 3 main ingredients to make this really lovely cake so there’s nothing to you!
A lovely healthy and nutritious version of a firm favourite using wholemeal instead of plain flour and healthy oats. The spices give a lovely flavour but you can leave them out if you want a plain muffin. For those on a dairy free eating plan, these are perfect as vegetable oil is used instead of butter. They are lovely and moist and not too sweet so perfect for on the go, a quick breakfast or great snack.
As most of us find on a regular basis, there were a couple of bananas that no one in the house would eat. God forbid you find some black on a banana! I didn’t want to make one of the usual bakes like Banana Bread so this recipe came to mind and what’s brilliant about it is that you can make 12 out of this recipe and freeze half of them for another day. Love that!
I got quite brave one day and decided I was going to make a homemade version of the much loved Jammie Dodger. I think it’s better to know what was in my biscuit and if I was going to indulge in a few, then at least I knew there were all good quality ingredients.
They just need some settling time in the fridge before baking so remember to include that in your planning. Have fun with them!
These gluten free chocolate brownies are really delicious, you would not know the difference at all (I promise) and have a nice soft centre with the added bonus of chocolate drops for something extra squidgy. Warning : these are addictive and I take no responsibility at all for their deliciousness!
