Cereal bars

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

Naturally sweet and moist, these make a great addition to a packed lunch. They are also a good way of getting the family to try some more unusual grains and seeds, and add new healthy ingredients to the diet.

Digestive biscuits

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

Have a go at making these old favourites yourself! They are sliced from a long piece of dough, which you can make ahead and store in the fridge or freezer. Bake the biscuits all at once or in batches, keeping the remainder of the dough chilled. It will keep for 2 months in the freezer.

Double chocolate chunk and nut cookies

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

These American-style cookies are simply irresistible eaten while still warm and the chocolate chunks are still soft and melting. Macadamia nuts, with their buttery flavour, add a crunchy texture, but can be omitted if you prefer. Like the chocolate, the nuts should be kept in fairly large pieces.

Fudgy brownies

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(5)

Most people’s ideal brownie is one that is moist in the centre, almost gooey, and with a rich, deep chocolate flavour. This recipe uses both chocolate and cocoa powder, which gives the brownies plenty of chocolate flavour, and also contains muscovado sugar to help produce the desired fudgy texture.

Here’s a healthier version of a traditional favourite. Bake quick round biscuits, or buy some fancy cutters and encourage children to have a go at making gingerbread figures or stars, and give them dried fruit or nut decorations. Whatever the shape, theses spicy, crunchy biscuits taste terrific.

Oatmeal and raisin cookies

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(4)

Both children and adults will love these crisp, melt-in-the-mouth American-style cookies. They are a really wholesome treat, lower in fat and sugar than most bought cookies, and packed with oatmeal and raisins for extra nutrients and flavour. It’s worth making a double batch and freezing some – they’ll keep for 2 months and thaw in minutes.

Flapjacks are universally popular, and the light and fruity version here will appeal to the whole family. It’s quick to mix, and not long in the oven. Serve the flapjacks with fresh fruit or yogurt for a speedy breakfast, in place of porridge, or enjoy them as a coffee-break or afterschool energy booster.
