Pumpkin, Almond, Chocolate Granola Bars – fat, salt and gluten free
Granola bar day today. The verdict on last week's bars was a little divided. Adriano thought they were too hard and gave him a belly ache. Dario just grunted. You'd think after 21 years, I would be able to interpret his grunts but I guess a chap has to keep a little mystery. The bars agreed with me - no belly ache - but I have to scratch them from all future menus for the sake of my husband's stomach. Today I was determined to add plenty of moisture along with the goodness. Somewhere I saw that a recipe used pumpkin puree along with apple sauce as the liquid and I used that base. I added all the nuts, seeds and dried fruit to make a true granola bar and threw in some healthy wheatgerm for good measure. This was a triumph, even if I do say so myself. They are moist and delicious. No salt or fat either. That has to be good. I am looking forward to morning teas this week. I don't know how to top this recipe.
