No Added Sugar: Make a paste of soft Medjool dates and use that instead of maple syrup. The bars will have a softer bite, unlike those made with maple syrup.

Step 1 Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper and grease parchment. If using more dry ingredients (almonds, oats and puffed cereal), then make sure to increase the amount of almond butter and maple syrup. These help with binding, but you will also need more of these to balance the taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Toast the grains and nuts for 10 to 15 minutes at 350ºF to enhance flavor and texture. Do not over bake the nuts, or they may burn. If you are looking for a balanced and healthy treat, choose recipes that use a combination of grains, cereals and some nuts, dates, honey or maple syrup instead of refined sugar and nut butters in place of dairy butter. In 1984 Raymond fulfilled a personal vision when he opened Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Great Milton. A stunning hotel and restaurant in harmony, today, Belmond Le Manoir is the only UK country house hotel to have retained two Michelin stars for the past 32 years. It is also home to the acclaimed Raymond Blanc Cookery School, welcoming keen cooking enthusiasts from around the world. Puffed Rice Cereal: You can find puffed brown rice or alternatives in most grocery stores. They are made with whole grain and do not have added sugar. These give the bars more body, while being light. I chose the brand arrowhead mills.
