SkinnyMediterranean: Baked Baklava Bites

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s Baked Baklava Bites features in the Sweets & Drinks section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean. Baklava always sounds complex. But these bites bring the magic in mini form: crunchy, fragrant nuts and flavours of the syrup in a compact, shareable version you’ll want to make over and over.

The Baked Baklava Bites is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

Baklava is definitely the most popular Greek dessert and a popular classic dessert across the Mediterranean and Middle East. I adore the taste but it is definitely not an everyday type dessert – unlike this recipe. These Baked Baklava Bites are perfect to have with your cup of tea or to take as a snack on the go.

All the sweet, nutty flavour of baklava… without the guilt These Baked Baklava Bites are packed with oats, nuts, honey, chia and spice.

Don’t stress if you are gluten-free, simply substitute the oats for quinoa flakes.
