    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.
