millet & peanut slice
gluten free
dairy free
This is a family favorite of ours and it makes a great school snack (if your school allows nuts). Fortunately our school does, they have the 'nut club' that congregates at break times. Personally I find it very frustrating that some school are nut free as nuts are such a healthy food and it is always such a small percentage of kids in the school with a nut allergy. It's very difficult for parents that are trying hard to cook healthy snacks for their kids to have to exclude nuts. This recipe takes minutes to make and requires no cooking...super easy!
INGREDIENTS
4 cups puffed millet
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pistachio nuts
1/3 cup honey or rice malt syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
pinch Himalayan salt
METHOD
Place puffed millet, cranberries and pistachio nuts into a bowl.
Combine remaining ingredients into a saucepan and heat over medium heat for 1 minute.
Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.
Transfer to a tin lined with baking paper and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Slice and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week (beware they won't last that long!)
