Hello Sarah

Part of the reason I started Fussy Foodie was from having candida and the need to remove certain foods from my diet – one being fruit.

You could actually just use water and a bit of lemon. Even carrot juice if you are feeling adventurous.

I recently tried Xylitol it’s an article I need to write up, for me it was a no no – big headaches but I would love to know if you have tried it and experiences you had.

I tend to use Agave Nectar (as a treat) in recipes if I need a sweet kick and have always had no nasty side effects from it.

Let us know how you get on

I’m on an anti candida diet and I can’t eat fruit at the moment, is there anything else I can substitute the pineapple and juice with? And has anyone tried Xylitol in recipes ?

Despite over-estimating the amount of pineapple juice required (which led to a bit of a sticky bar!!), these still tasted great! So quick and easy as well.

This is great recipe, I’ve tried a few variations like using coconut or sesame seeds and adding a few more whole oats at the end but I wasn’t too keen on the raw-ness of them so I tried baking them 15 mins on each side at 180C. Yum!!

Thanks for the recipe. I substituted strawberries for the pineapple and it was delicious. I will make pineapple ones next week.

Lovely! I used a mixture of cashew nuts with a couple of walnuts, cocoa powder and cinnamon instead of ginger and cinnamon, and tinned peaches instead of the pineapple.

mmm, baking without the ‘baking’. I love a recipe where you can substitute ingredients to suit what you have in the cupboard. I have some peanut butter, dried prunes and orange juice – will give it a go later and let you know!

That looks yum – definitely next on my baking list!
