Recipe
Low Sugar Vegan Cocoa & Banana Granola Bars Replace sugar in granola bars with eggs and bananas! By: Sarah Sears Photographed by: Elena Lauren U.
Ingredients 290g (2 and 1/4 cup) rolled oats 170g (1/2 cup) sunflower seeds 130g (1 cup) chopped nuts (I used macadamia and cashews) 60g (1/2 cup) cranberries (or dried fruit of choice) 170g (about 2 medium sized) bananas, mashed well Pinch of salt (optional) 1 egg 1 tablespoon golden syrup 2 tablespoon oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 180 C (355 F) and line a 20cm x 30 cm baking tray with baking paper. 2. In a larger baking tray, place the oats, nuts and seeds on it and evenly distribute. Place them in the oven and toast until the nuts are slightly golden brown and the oats are slightly coloured - doing this enhances the flavour of the nuts and oats. 3. In a large bowl, combine banana, salt, egg, golden syrup, oil and vanilla extract. Mix well. Add the toasted oats and nuts/seeds along with the cocoa powder. Mix well until all combined. 4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and bake for 34-45 minutes or until the edges are crispy (for chewy granola bars, bake less time, for crunchier bars, bake longer). 5. Leave to cool in pan before cutting into 24 small bars or 12 large bars. STRATa / 13

n a li i u G i D a h s a S The Best Female Climber In The World By: Bjoern Leifsson
Photograph: Carlo Travers
After three weeks of battling rain, snow, and ice storms between weather windows on Paciencia, DiGiulian and Traversi abandoned their ascent halfway up the north face and made a spontaneous decision to tackle a different route, Magic Mushroom (5.13a), which had also never been climbed by a woman. (Or an American, for that matter.) They topped out on Saturday, August 29, after three days of climbing.
