METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Using a knife or a food processor, coarsely chop all the nuts. Depending on the variety, leave the dried fruit whole or cut it into small pieces.
In a saucepan, bring the margarine, sugar, and agave syrup to a boil over high heat. Combine the nuts, dried fruit, lemon juice, puffed amaranth, oats, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture over the sheet in a 3/4in (2cm) thick layer with a moistened spatula. Bake for about 15 minutes in the centre of the oven, or until the mixture holds together well. While still warm, cut into 12 bars and set aside to cool before storing in an airtight container.
