Looking for a quick and easy breakfast option or something for a pick me up snack? These delicious gluten free cereal bars are so much healthier than shop bought brands and taste amazing. Ideal for packed lunches as well – you can swap the nut butter for tahini which is often allowed at schools rather than nuts. The lucuma powder is optional but I think it adds a lovely creamy, caramel like flavour to the bars. Add a scoop of protein powder for a fabulous post workout snack.

Oats are a perfect way to kick start the day – they contain slow releasing carbohydrate, fibre, protein and an array of vitamins and minerals including manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and B vitamins.
You could switch the cacao butter for coconut oil instead but the bars may be a little softer. Turn them into a healthy chocolate treat and substitute the cacao butter for high quality chocolate.
