Yummy and easy! I plan to take these on long runs during my marathon training. I didn’t have enough figs at home so I tossed golden raisins in, worked great! Thanks!
Loved this recipe! They fell apart quite badly, so I’m going to up the figs or add a few dates to make them stickier.
If I make them May 15, will they keep in backpack until May 21? I am traveling to New Zealand and hiking in the mountains.
They should. Wrap each bar individually with plastic wrap or aluminium foil.
Wondering if I can do this receipe with out the seeds? Been trying to find stuff that does NOT have ANY nuts or seeds. Allergies! Should I use more Oats?
Thanks.
Hi Wendy! You might want to use puffed quinoa, rice or amaranth to replace nuts and seeds in this recipe.
