Back in the summer one of my readers, Dawn, contacted me asking if I could re-create a snack bar that she had found in a cafe in Victoria, Canada. ย The only thing she knew was that it had peanut butter and oats in it.

You know me! I like a challenge, but this one was particularly tricky since at the time I was unable to eat oats (I was on the GAPS diet) and Mr M hates peanut butter! ย The kids were not keen on my first attempts either!

Finally, after fiddling around for a few months I came up with these. ย Hopefully they are something like the bar that Dawn so fondly remembered!

They are sticky and satisfying, yet not too sweet. ย Perfect as an energy boost half way through the morning or afternoon, or after a workout!

They are incredibly versatile.

If you don’t have any dates, use dried apricots (ideally the organic, brown ones that don’t have sulphites in them).

If you fancy adding some seeds, throw a teaspoonful in.

If you fancy a little chocolate fix add a teaspoon of cocoa.

In my latest batch I added a teaspoonful of bee pollen…just because I had it knocking around in a cupboard, along with cocoa and apricots!

You get the drift.

Use the recipe as a base for whatever you want to do.

Not to say there is anything wrong with the basic recipe. We love it.

Is there anything that you would like me to create especially for you?

If so then do get in touch. ย I love being contacted by you…it helps me to know that there is someone reading this.

As always if you make these bars then do let me know what you think and share any photos on your favourite social media channel, making sure you tag me in the post.

    I imagine these would make a delicious and filling breakfast. Dates seem to be very popular right now…. They have come a long way since the obligatory Christmas box with the plastic fork…..
    I am very into home-made cereal and fruit bars at the moment! Yum xx

    O wow, these sound fantastic! I never use dates, but I love the combo with the PB!

      Dates are really sweet so if you avoid sugar then they aren’t great…but they are better than refined sugar I always think!

    The chocolate version is exactly my kind of snack! I’ll definitely give them a go soon. x

    yum. and I love the way you’ve allowed for using normal dates, medjool ones are delicious but so much more expensive, and where I live harder to find too………..

      Thanks for your comment! I hate it when people always use medjool dates. I use them if I am being lazy, otherwise I just soak regular ones. In my view the result is the same!

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (15) and 'Sunshine' (13). 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...
