Fruit & Nut Bars
The Mediterranean Diet in a Snack Bar
INGREDIENTS
FiberFlour 300g
FiberSugar 150g
Baking Powder 2tsp
Ginger 1tsp
Mixed Spices 1tsp
Salt 1tsp
Rehydrated dried fruit & berries 200g
Any or all sorts of Nuts 200g
Water 100-150 ml
​
Instructions
This is essentially a flap jack recipe. Just make a gooey mixture, press and roll it out between two sheets of baking parchment.
​
-
Combine the fiberflour, fibersugar, baking soda, spices and salt.
-
Mix in the nuts and the rehydrated fruits & berries
-
I have been using a raisin cranberry blueberry mix in a large jar of wine and spirits kept in the fridge ready to go.
-
You will need to add some water to the mix at this point to get a sticky consistency. Between 100 and 200 ml should get a workable mix to roll out.
-
Scoop half of this quantity onto baking sheet/paper. Place another sheet on top and press and roll out as thin as the nuts allow.
-
Take away the top sheet and lift into your baking tray. Repeat for the other half to make enough bars to last a week or so.
-
Bake at 160°C for 12-15 minutes. Lift the sheet of cooked flapjack onto a cutting board and with a large heavy knife divide it all into your bar sizes of choice.
​
Tips: Modify cooking time and temperature for a crispy or a gooy-er bar. You can dehydrate them at a low temp, say 70C for 20 to 40 minutes for as much crunch as you like.
