This recipe has no highly processed ingredients, with the bulk of the mix coming from carrots, sunflower seeds and brown rice! It is also low in added sugar, using dates to sweeten, with just a little help from one of the least processed sugars, rapadura. Taste the mix before pouring into the tray and if your tastes say 'sweeter please', blend through another couple of dates, some grated apple or sultanas.
I experimented and made a coconut 'icing' to put on top of each slice however you could go more traditional with a cream cheese frosting or even a lemony type icing which would be yummy too!
Of course this isn't just for kids! Given the ingredients, it would make an energising snack for busy days on the go, between meals, or even with a cuppa and a chat! (or breakfast!).
