Tips

Ingredients

  • Wheat bran is added to recipes to increase fibre, which helps make our desserts or snacks more satisfying.
  • If you don’t have spices at home, make your own blend depending on what you have and like.
  • Make it colourful! After baking sprinkle chopped cranberries on top of the bars to add colour.

Substitute

  • Replace peaches with canned pears or other fruit of your choice.

Equipment

  • A flour cutter could be used to mix the ingredients in step #2 of the preparation.
