Fibre-filled "bars" and scones - stealth health - for constipated 3yo DD

[Onmyhighchairhorse]

Sorry to mention bottoms in the recipe section - but I need ideas on fibre-filled but healthy snacks for "sluggish" DD age 3yo. She likes cereal bars and scones, but I don't want to give her too much sugar.. Can you recommend any recipes for this type of thing? Or any other recipes for stealth fibre - she is fussy, tiny and underweight so high cal is fine...
TIA

be careful what type of fibre you give, some forms can make constipation worse.

we found that things like weetabix really bunged ds1 up (as did bananas) so it might be worth looking at her diet to see if there is anything making her constipation worse.

oh just remembered a good tip someone gave me which is to eat a big apple, including skin. it always works to get my lot going, so it's an apple a day here :=

would love to help with recipes, but all of mine seem a bit high on the sugar side lol

I make flapjack, but go easy on the sugar and add dried fruit like apricots, dates, currants, prunes and/or sultanas. Naturally sweet from the fruit so you can reduce the added sugar. Much better for you and loads cheaper than cereal bars.

ooh thanks - had forgotten about the existence of flapjack but that sounds ideal and the nigella thing looks great - though I trialled her (lovely) pear muffins today (with minimal ginger) and the verdict from DD1 was that they were "disgusting" - "next time do them without the pear"!! DD2 did nibble but generally they are ungrateful wretches! so we shall see.....

Try this book - Red velvet chocolate heartache - low sugar, low fat cakes and scones made with vegetables.

I love it (mentioned it before, so probably ought to be on commission :))

... forgot to say, they have proper butter and sugar laden icings - yum

I'm making these this weekend with my raspberry glut
