By now my children know that I am very sneaky. They are on the lookout for puréed lentils in soups and stews and they have resigned themselves to the fact that there is ground flax in almost everything. I never waste an opportunity to add healthy foods to our diet and I believe that it can be done without compromising taste!
These gluten free, high protein, O Henry Squares are a great way to sneak some extra healthy ingredients and protein into a delicious chocolatey treat! I took the basic recipe, used gluten free oats then added some ground flax for fibre, and hemp hearts and almond meal for protein. I reduced the sugar and replaced the corn syrup with healthier real maple syrup and the result is very yummy!
Here in Canada it will soon be be back-to-school time and these O Henry Squares are perfect for the lunch box, as long as your school isn't nut free!
