    These are lovely and pefect for a quick breakfast - does anyone have any suggestions to make these lower in fat as 7g of sat fat is quite a lot. I would also like to put some dried fruit in which I think would be really nice.

    I swapped the butter for banana and added some dried apricot pieces. These were lovely and much less fat and kcals. They were alot softer than with butter but still had the crunch of the nuts

    Lovely recipe - i've made it with only 50g butter and then added chopped apricots instead. Also substituted the hazelnuts for mixed seeds (pine nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds), the children love them, really yummy and quick to make.

    the banana sounds great, but if you were to do so, how many bananas would you use when substituting for butter???

    I swapped 50g butter for 2 small very ripe bananas. I used soft brown sugar as i had no demerara and substituted mixed seeds for nuts and added some raisins. Result was fab, if a bit soft, and kids ate them all in their lunch boxes! Next time will add some dried apricots for sharpness and cook for few minutes longer. Cant wait!

    I used 50g soft butter and then added 50g of apple puree (the one you buy in a jar). That worked fine.

    I used peanut butter instead of butter, honey instead of golden syrup and added 2oz bran and 2oz chopped ready to eat, dried apricots Then cooked at 130c for 45 minutes. DELICIOUS and HEALTHY.
