Tips

  • You can make this recipe into muesli bars. Follow steps 1-3. Place mixture into a lined slice tray. Press to flatten with your fingers. Cook for 30 minutes. Cool in pan then slice.
  • This recipe can be frozen. Place frozen cookie in your child’s lunch box and it will defrost.
  • Use any dried fruit you like in place of the craisions, diced dried apricots work well.
  • You can also make these into bliss balls, just replace the oil with 1 teaspoon of cocoa and use only 2 bananas.  Mix and roll into balls. Instead of baking set and store in fridge.
