How to Make Healthy Nut Bars

  1. Lightly warm the honey and golden syrup in a small saucepan over low heat. This helps them combine more easily.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the following dry ingredients: [Insert Measured Ingredients Here - see ingredients section for details].
  3. Add the warmed honey and golden syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
  4. Add ⅓ cup of the LSA and mix well. Gradually add more LSA, up to ½ cup, until the mixture is well combined and holds its shape. (The amount of LSA needed may vary depending on the type of nuts and seeds used.)
  5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spread the mixture evenly onto the tray.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Once set, cut into bars. Enjoy as is, or elevate your treat with a luxurious chocolate coating (see optional chocolate dip instructions below).
  8. **Optional Chocolate Dip:** Melt 400g of chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method). Ensure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 200g of grated chocolate until melted and the temperature is around 35°C. This tempers the chocolate for a glossy, smooth finish.
  9. **Savory Variation:** For a savory twist, use ¾ cup tahini, 1 cup honey, and omit the golden syrup. Adjust the amount of LSA as needed.
