| A splendid diversity of flakes, nuts and seeds goes into these easy granola bars, easily adding up to over 12 plant species depending on the mix you choose. This is a great recipe to make with our Granola Bundles. |
Commercial granola bars can be very high in refined fats and sugars. While sugar and fat help bind the ingredients together this recipe offers a less processed option. Much of the sugar is replaced with dates, helping to stick the bars together and give them a complex caramel flavour. Nutty tahini provides the fat.
Adapt this recipe as you wish with different flakes, nuts and dried fruit. You can switch up the tahini for any nut butter of your choice or add flavours like vanilla, cinnamon or ginger.
I like to wrap these in baking paper and throw one into my rucksack for a day of hiking. I recently took some friends for an unexpectedly long and rainy walk on the moor and was only forgiven because I'd bought along a bag of these!

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.

This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
