I actually hate oats and there are only few dishes in which they are OK for me and granola bars is one such … infact I love granola bars ..Yep that yummy they are that i forget that it has oats in it . I recently received the newly launched Ginger Marmalade from Sprig ( remember my stuffed homemade chocolate recipe !! )  .. i got a crazy idea of using them in my homemade granola bars recipe . Since Sprig Ginger marmalade is made from high grown fresh young ginger with an added freshness and zest from green lime .. i was very sure that addition of it will make granola bars extra yummy and i was right !! Every bite of this ginger marmalade granola bars is indeed a sensuous delight.I strongly recommend you to try .. and guess what ..

    Dear Madam,

    I am vegan and hence do not use butter, Can the butter be eliminated?
    And also I am allergic to honey, Can I use Dermerra sugar?
    Please clarify my doubts.

    Thanks
