Sometimes flapjacks are just too sweet, we want something crunchier like these Nut Free Granola Bars. Simple to make, naturally gluten free if you use gluten free oats. No need to add nuts – we used pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Of course you can use nuts if you want, but we want Molly to be able to take these to school so it’s a no nut recipe. The key is toasting the oats and coconut first. All pretty quick and easy.
Free From: Gluten, Egg, Dairy, Nuts
Contains: Sulphates (in the raisins) and Soya (in the Biscoff)
Preheat the oven to 170°C,340°F
Grease a baking sheet for you to use to toast the oats and coconut
Dairy Free Granola Bars
Great snack to have to hand. Free From: Gluten, Egg, Dairy, Nuts Contains: Sulphates (in the raisins) and Soya (in the Biscoff) Preheat the oven to 170°C,340°F Grease a baking sheet for you to use to toast the oats and coconut Grease a square cake tin and line with greaseproof paper. I grease the paper as well but very lightly. I find it makes it easier to get the granola bars out.

Ingredients
- 2 cup gluten free oats
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 1/8 tsp salt

- 2 tablespoons of Biscoff (if you can have peanuts you can use peanut butter instead, but bear in mind this means your child can’t take these into a nut free school)

- ½ cup seeds – pumpkin and sunflower
