‘Easter-fy’ your KOJA Bars with Dietitian Millie

In our eyes, KOJA bars are perfect on their own. They encompass a delicious balance of whole food ingredients; designed by our founder Kate to be satisfying, a little bit sweet and a whole lot nutritious. From a Dietitian’s perspective (that’s me), they tick all of the boxes when it comes to a healthy snack. 


However with Easter just around the corner, I wanted to find a way to combine my favourite healthy snacks (hint: KOJA Bars) with my favourite easter treats (hint: chocolate and hot cross buns) in a fun and simple way so that you can make them at home too.


Here’s what I came up with: 


Hot Cross Bun Granola w/ Greek Yoghurt and Seasonal Fruit 

Serves: 1

Ingredients: 

  • 1 x KOJA Health Cinnamon and Raisin Oat Bar 
  • 1 cup of Greek Yoghurt 
  • ½ cup of your favourite fruit, we chose apples 
  • Optional: Extra Cinnamon 

Method: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius 
  2. Line a baking tray with baking paper 
  3. Remove the Cinnamon and Raisin Oat Bar from the packaging and softly crumble onto the lined baking tray. Place into the oven for 10 minutes or until golden and crunchy.
  4.  In a small serving bowl, add the greek yoghurt, granola, fresh apple and an optional sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy 

Chocolate Dipped Oat Bites 

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

  • 1 x KOJA Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Bar or 1 x Berry and Coconut Almond Bar 
  • 2 x Easter Eggs of your choice, halved 
  • 50g of your favourite chocolate 
  • 1 x Skewer 

Method: 

  1. Slice the Oat or Almond Bar into 4 smaller pieces 
  2. Place the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 45 seconds, stirring at the ~20 second mark to prevent burning 
  3. Partially place a skewer into the top of each bar and dip into the melting chocolate 
  4. Place the bars onto a plate or lined tray (chocolate-side up) and top with half an easter egg
  5. Pop into the fridge for 20 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened 

‘KOJA-Inspired’ Peanut Butter Easter Eggs 

Serves: 1

Ingredients: 

  • 1 x KOJA Health Peanut Caramel Peanut Butter Bar
  • 20g of chocolate, melted 
  • Optional: Crushed Nuts 
  • 1 x Skewer

Method: 

  1. Using your hands, mould the peanut caramel peanut butter bar into an egg-like shape 
  2. Similarly to the oat bites, insert a skewer into the top of the peanut butter bar and dip into the melted chocolate. You will likely have leftover chocolate from the Oat Bites, if not - melt some more by placing the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for ~20-30 seconds. 
  3. Optional: Top with crushed nuts
  4. Place the Easter Eggs into the fridge 

Oat Bliss Balls with Chocolate Drizzle 

Serves: 1

Ingredients: 

  • 1 x Maple Oat Bar 
  • 20g of melted chocolate 

Method: 

  1. Place the oat bar onto a microwave safe plate and place into the microwave for 20 seconds to soften the bar 
  2. Cut the bar half and roll each piece into a ball, using your hands 
  3. Drizzle with your choice of melted chocolate
