If there is one thing I love is crunchy snacks so when I received these gorgeous pots of Honea (vegan alternative to honey) from PB I had to try to make crunchy oat bars with it! Talking to the brand through Instagram I asked them if it really tastes like honey and they responded ‘We’ll let you be the judge of that’ and sent me some jars to try. I am super happy to report that it TRULY DOES taste like honey and it has the same consistency as well. Perfect balance of sweetness with a floral undertone. I loved it and so did the kids.
Now on to the recipe. I made a very large batch on the roasting tray of the oven because we are 6 people in my house right now and I didn’t want to have to fight the guests for the bars 😉
200gr oat flour (oats grounded)
300gr jumbo style oats
1/2 cup Honea (vegan honey alternative)
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
Pinch of Himalayan salt
Pinch of vanilla powder
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Melt the coconut oil, add the Honea and mix well. In a large bowl place all the other ingredients and mix well, then add the coconut oil & Honea and mix evenly. Spread the mixture in the oven roasting tray (previously covered with grease proof paper) and bake for 20-25minutes until the top is golden. Take out the tray and cut into desired shapes and let cool down completely before storing them in a container. They are utterly delicious and the perfect quick after school snack for the kids. You can make them into protein bars by adding a scant cup of your favourite protein powder (make sure the flavour matches a sweet recipe!)
