Notes
Allergens: Nuts.Source: Ylenia Margareci, Vegan Natural Chef StudentNotes:Always buy unsweetened, organic dried fruit (non-organic contains sulphites which are an allergen and gut irritant).Get creative with the ingredient combinations, swap the flaxseed for chia seeds or pumpkin or sunflower. You can add in oats or puffed quinoa too to make it go further.To learn more healthy baking recipes, check out CNM’s Natural and Vegan Chef diploma.
