Keep your energy levels up with this sugar-free peanut snack bars recipe.
These snack bars are ready in minutes and make a filling mid-morning pick-me-up that should stop you from diving into the biscuit tin. Figs, nuts and seeds give texture and taste. Simple but totally moreish.
Ingredients (makes 12)
200g soft dried figs
100g unsweetened crunchy peanut butter
40g sunflower seeds
40g pumpkin seeds
40g wholemeal plain flour
2tbsp sunflower oil
2tsp water
Method
Remove the tough stalky part at the top of each fig. Place the figs in
a food processor, add all the other ingredients and pulse until you have
a mixture with the texture of fine crumbs.
Press the crumbs firmly together to form a ‘dough’.
Roll out the dough on a worktop to a thickness of about 1cm – a rectangle about 18 x 15cm is perfect. If there are cracks, press the dough more firmly.
Cut into 12 slices.
Store in the refrigerator and eat within seven days.
