How To Make Granola Hearts
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.

3. Make a well in the centre and add in the peanut butter, mashed banana, dates and vanilla essence. Mix until well combined and scoop the mixture into heart shaped mold or use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make the shape, ensuring they are 1-2cm thick.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes and allow to cool. Serve in a bowl with Clover Authentikos and fruit.
Chefs Tip: Using natural sweeteners like honey and dates is a great way to cut out any added sugar.
