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.
