Can you substitute date syrup for sugar to hold it together?
Jessica Fisher
I have never used date syrup, so I have no idea. I’m sorry not to be more help!

I picked up a bag of puffed millet at the store yesterday and thought, “what would you do with this stuff? totally unappealing as a cereal”
Now I’ll have to go back and buy a bag because these look like a fun treat!

Do you need to put sugar in this to hold it all together or is it just for sweetening?
Jessica
I tried it in lots of combinations and felt you needed the sugar to help it hold together.

Hi Lovely recipe , a bit like a honey joy bar.
I added Pepitas & sunflower seeds( no nuts so kids could take them to school).
I didn’t have enough honey so used 1/2 honey & half golden syrup. It made the recipe a more caramel flavour. I was a bit worried it would fall a part out of the fridge if not cooked , so I baked at 160deg for 20 mins. This just held it together a bit better & crunched them up .
I am going to use less sugar next time. Only my personal preference should turn out the same
Happy cooking

Is there a way I can cook millet at home rather than buy puffed millet? I just bought a ton at the grocery thinking I would make these for my son’s school lunches and didn’t see that key word- puffed! Devil in the details I guess….any thoughts or should I figure out how to cook millet into some other recipe?
Jessica
@Laurie, I have never bought regular millet. I’m sorry I can’t help you! Google is your friend. 😉

Hi Jessica…just got some puffed millet on sale and stumbled upon your recipe. Did you use sweetened flaked coconut? I have unsweetened (my son is a diabetic) and figured that would work as well.
Thank you for sharing all your recipes and knowledge!

It is unsweetened that I have. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll go fix the post.

I’ve always used mason jars to make my salad dressing — they fit on my blender so I can whip dressing and mince herbs and garlic at the same time. It was a little messy for pouring so imagine how thrilled I am now that I found these reCAP’s for Mason Jars. Sure, I had to wait until they were funded on Kickstarter. http://recapmasonjars.com/
