A dear friend is anemic (iron deficiency) and also celiac (allergic to wheat). I start to come up with food that are more friendly to her and maintain the integrity of yumminess.
This is a super healthy, protein & iron packed snack.
Molasses has a metallic taste and my original recipe without honey is too trying for some. 2 versions corrected the acquiring taste of molasses.
Molasses Muesli (Version 1)
320g Black Strap molasses (benefits reference)
60g honey
1 Tbsp peanut butter
250g rolled oats (quinoa / rice bubble / millet / sorghum mixed for Celiac sufferer)
75g shredded coconut
100g dried cranberries
125 mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
125g nuts (almond & walnuts) -blended
1. Preheat oven to 130degree. Oil spray a 23x33x4 cm baking tray
2. Warm the molasses, honey with peanut butter in a pan
3. Meanwhile, mix all the other ingredients and then add the warm molasses mix, using a spatula to fold & distribute
4. Spread the mixture into the tin and press down firmly & evenly with the spatula, or your hands.
5. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and then after 15 min, cut into 16 chunky bars. Let cool completely.
