Granola Bars

So, following on from my health kick post, I've made some granola bars. I had the day off as I had my final
Accutane hospital appointment. Oh I'm officially of that stuff, but the nurse prescribed me some Retin-A. Has anyone used that?
Anyways, back to the granola bars, so I went to Asda and bought all the ingredients. Some nuts, dried fruits, maple syrup, seeds and oats.
I amended the recipe, as I said I would. I added ground ginger, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and half maple syrup with half manukka honey.

The important question is, are they nice? Urrrmmm...Yeah, they are for what they are. They're nutty and oaty. I wish I hadn't put the fruit in though, as I don't like the taste of them (I added strawberry and mango). I don't think they're going to make me want to eat breakfast though, and they were quite expensive to make! All the above costed me £10. However, it is for a lot of bars, not just 1 I guess....! My mum loved them, as she loves all those tastes, but I just don't!


(Pardon the blurry photo!)

Would I make them again? No! I prefer the Special K bars, so I'd rather just pay for them.

Let me know if you guys try it out!

Love ShameeraXxX

    They don't seem that healthy with all that butter and peanut butter!

    It was low fat, sugar free organic peanut butter and low fat margarine. It was a big batch, so not like I'm eating 4tablespoons everytime I'm eating one lol!

    These look really yummy! The combination of the dried fruit, nuts and seeds with the peanut butter is really good as it ensures a slow release of energy instead of a 'quick fix' therefore keeping you fuller for longer and preventing the dreaded 'snacking' - great recipe! Keep them coming!

    Thanks Verity...I did want it to be slow releasing so that I feel fuller for longer. As I make up recipes, I'll share them with you :D xxx

    Kirstyb - when you make them, makesure you put in only the things you know you like & you'll be more likely to eat them! X

    i've used retin-A before :) dad's a doctor so he recommended i use it when my skin was going through a rough phase. it works really well for drying out spots and taking off that first few layers of the skin. hope you get good results with it!

    It really does peel, doesn't it? I like it!It's just what my skin needed after the Roaccutane to finish it off nicely :-)Hope your skin is fine now...XxX
