If you want to make these nut free swap the ground hazelnuts for shredded coconut,  leave out the walnuts and increase the sultanas and dried apple to 50g each.

I have converted this from the Healthy Chef website.  The original recipe is here. She includes the nutritional information on her web site.

I have found these to be a good quick breakfast when you are running late or as a snack on a long bike ride. They should keep for a week in an air tight container in the fridge.

Reading these made my mouth water. I love anything with nuts and dried fruit in.

The good thing about this recipe is you can legitimately eat cookies for breakfast!

I made these yesterday & hid them in the pantry for DH's lunch & last night he found them, his eyes lit up & more so once he found out I had made them.  He had to have one there & then & got a big thumbs up   He loves cookies so we will see how long they last!

I made another batch of these yesterday and they  were all gone in a few hours.
They are yummy at any time of the day and perfect snack for my dairy intolerant GD. Her dad had a fair few and took some home as well

I just made a batch of these to take on the boat foe fuel during tomorrow's Rottnest Channel swim. I forgot how good they are, I hope they last until then.
