Top 5 Homemade Treats

We are all trying to cut back on ultra processed foods and a great way to start is to make your own homemade treats. That way you will know exactly what is going into your treats. We have put together a brand new Homemade Treat Series which will help you along the way. You can always switch things up to suit your own taste.

Homemade Treat Series

1. Blueberry & Lemon Oat Crumble Bars

These bars are a fantastic as a breakfast bar or afternoon snack. The oat mixture is used for the base and crumble, and the jam is set with chia seeds so it’s quick to make and uses less sugar. It’s naturally plant based and coeliac friendly if made with gluten free oats. You can watch the step by step video here.

2. Granola Bars with Dark Chocolate

While you do need to toast the dry ingredients to enhance the flavour of the oats, nuts, and seeds, this is a no-bake recipe that makes delicious chocolate-coated granola bars absolutely packed with crunchy seeds and nuts. Great for an on-the-go energy boost or enjoyed as an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. You can do these in a smaller tin or tray to make them thicker depending on your preference. The thins are just easier to eat. Watch the step by step video here.

3. Nut Free Seed & Choc Chip Snack Balls

These nut free seeds balls are great as an on-the-go energy-boosting snack. They’re quick to make and will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge. You can also double or triple the recipe and freeze them to enjoy later. Great for lunch boxes! Watch the video here.

4. Snicker Style Rice Cake Bars

Use crumbled rice cakes to make this Snickers-inspired treat. The crumbled rice cakes are mixed with peanut butter and maple syrup then pressed into a loaf tin. For the caramel layer, sweet and sticky dates are used, then everything is topped with a luscious layer of dark chocolate. Finally, some chopped peanuts finish off this tasty snack! The rice layer will soften so it’s similar to a soft nougat, but if you prefer a crunchy treat, swap some or all the rice cakes for Rice Krispies. Watch the video here.

5. Raspberry Oat Bars

Raspberry Coconut Breakfast Bars – These make-ahead breakfast bars are great for busy mornings, lunchboxes and afternoon snacks. Simply blitz everything in your food processor and bake! They can also be stored in the freezer. They’re naturally sweetened with banana and dates and full of fibre from oats and flaxseed.
