The recipe for Graham Wafers comes form 101 Cookbooks and the recipe for the Nanaimo Bars comes from the website for the City of Nanaimo. I made only half the recipe suggested. For the Graham Wafers, I used a combination of whole wheat, wheat bran, and rice flour, and for the bottom layer of the bars I substituted the egg with flax seed powder and warm water. I restructured the custard layer of the Nanimo bars almost entirely to cur out sugar and butter. I used a combination of thick Greek yogurt, pureed dried peaches, custard powder, and very little sugar and butter. The result was an amazingly yummy layer with a tang that balanced the flavours, sweetness, and richness of these bars. The fruit layer also added a more coarse texture and chewy feel to the bar.

Post Script: The January 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month. The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca.
