Vegeterian Tips: Reduce your refined sugar intake. I ve got as much of a sweet tooth as anybody, but I try to keep it under control by using such sugar replacers as maple syrup, stevia and agave whenever possible such as in coffee and tea and indulging in the refined stuff only occasionally.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 50g non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
- 30g vegan sugar
- 175g oats
- 2 tablespoons vegan maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brazil nuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
- 4 tablespoons raisons
- 1 banana, mashed with a little vegan soymilk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- extra vegan soymilk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6.
2. Melt the vegan margarine and sugar
in a pan.
3. Mix together all the dry ingredients
in a large bowl (except the banana, soy
milk, maple syrup and vanilla essence)
4. Add the maple syrup to the melted
margarine and sugar. Add to the dry
ingredients and mix well.
5. Mash the banana (or use a blender)
with a little soy milk (about a
tablespoon) and add the vanilla essence.
6. Add to the mixture and mix well. Add
more soy milk if needed. The mixture
should be fairly sticky but not too wet.
7. Add mixture to a baking tin
(greased) and bake in the oven for 15-
20 mins.
8. Once baked, cut into bars and let
cool. Eat.
There are lots of variations you
can use. You can add dates or other
dried fruit instead of raisons, other
types of nuts etc.
