I have modified Chewy Granola Bars to fit into our allergen free diet. Everyone loves these!! These are free of milk, egg, gluten, corn, soy and so ON!! Sorry about missing changing the directions. I have been tweaking the recipe. Everything should be correct now. You WILL have to read labels to be sure that the items you buy are allergen free. This recipe is quite forgiving but using regular rice flour helps them to stick together. Ingredients:
3/4 cup raw sugar (or brown sugar) |
1/3 cup spectrum non-hydrogenated shortening (or vegan margarine) |
2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons agave nectar, for vegan |
1 egg equivalent egg substitute (i use flax vegan egg re placer #104832) |
3/4 cup rice flour |
1 teaspoon guar gum (if not in flour mix) or 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not in flour mix) |
1 teaspoon vanilla (look for corn and gluten free brands) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup crispy rice cereal (organic brown rice cereal is corn free) |
1/2 cup chopped nuts |
1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (enjoy life brand are free of corn, milk, soy, gluten, etc) |
1 3/4 cups rolled oats (gluten free) |
