A quick and easy recipe for vegan date bars that are perfect for your kids lunchboxes or to help with your mid-afternoon slump!

2014-04-30 13.04.16_reduced

Now as some of you will know I have plans afoot for a series of cookery videos to show you just how easy my recipes are.ย 

I have recorded one already but still need to work out how to edit it so that you don’t have to put up with the ‘warts and all’ version.ย 

Having said that, if you read my blog you are probably used to the ‘rough and ready’ nature!

It was my birthday last week and my lovely sister bought me a new camera (the same one as hers that I borrowed a while ago and took some lovely pictures with!).ย 

That combined with my new-found photography tips that I picked up at the Tots100 blogging conference I went to at the weekend, should mean that my photos improve from now!ย 

I enjoyed taking these yesterday on a piece of tile that I got for free from Tops Tiles.

Anyway, on to the recipe for vegan date bars.ย 

It was inspired by one in the Woman and Home Eating Smart magazine, but I changed the ingredients and added some other healthy ones in.ย 

The result is a slightly chewy bar that is packed with goodies…perfect as a mid-afternoon snack, pudding or even breakfast on the run!

    I cannot believe that I haven’t tried dates with ginger before, that sounds so yummy. I saw some quinoa flakes in the supermarket the other day but I didn’t buy them because I didn’t think I would use them. I’ll pick them up next time though.

      Hi Anne, let me know if you try the recipe out. The kids love them here and I haven’t made them for ages. I must do it…but I have so many recipes to create that I rarely make ones again once they are perfected!!

Vicki Montague, the Free From Fairy

Welcome!

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (16) and 'Sunshine' (14). I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
