Watch Stephanie’s “how to” video (on the next page) to see how she makes a big batch of tasty, popular Fruit & Nut Energy Bars. These nutritious snacks (or healthy breakfast treats) are full of healthy dried fruits and nuts held together with a batter that contains no butter or oil … just a single beaten egg! She also explains why they’re so popular: a crispy and chewy texture along with lots of flavor!!
Tip: double the recipe since they’ll keep for 10 days or longer in the fridge!
Vary your choice of the dried fruits and the nuts to suit your own preferences, but be sure to keep the amounts the same: 2 cups (270 grams) of dried fruits along with 1 1/2 cups (175 grams) of nuts.
Examples of good dried fruits to consider are dried dates, raisins, apricots, mango, papaya, apples, pears, cherries, cranberries, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Always look for dried fruit that is plump, moist, and has good color. Never buy fruit that is shriveled and dried out or moldy.
