Notes

  • I make mine in a loaf tin, but you can use a smaller tin or Tupperware to make thicker bars.
  • I slice mine into 12 bite-sized portions, but you can cut them into fewer, bigger slices. I always end up having more than one, anyway!
  • You can easily double this recipe to make a bigger batch, just press the X2 or X3 button on the recipe card.
  • Read the blog content for more information about making these allergen-friendly.
  • See the blog contents for ingredient substitutions and storage advice.
