Batch Baking

Bake once, enjoy for weeks. Make a double batch - one for now, one for the freezer. Saves you £15 per week compared to shop-bought bars. Perfect for packed lunches or afternoon treats.

The secret

Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup. The pecans toast beautifully on top.

Storage tip: Keep for 2 weeks in a tin, or freeze for 3 months.
