If you’re tired of toast, bacon, ham or cereal for morning breakfast, why not try something healthy, the Breakfast Bars! These healthy chewy bars are very easy to make and I adapted the recipe from Nigella Lawson. Really easy peasy. Just to throw in all the ingredients, mix and bake for an hour at low temperature. As I’m not a great fan of using condensed milk, I replaced it with honey and milk and just grabbed whatever leftover ingredients that I had on my pantry. A tasty and easy way to serve for breakfast or when you’re in a rush or snack on in between meals.

Ingredients
- 397g can Condensed milk (I used 295g honey + 100g fresh milk)
- 250g Rolled oats
- 75g Shredded coconut
- 100g Dried cranberries (used dried apricots, dried cranberries and dried sweet tomatoes)
- 125g Mixed seeds (pine nuts, pumpkin, sunflower)
- 125g Unsalted peanuts, (used walnuts, roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 130C and place a non greased baking sheet on a 13 inch square baking tray.
- Warm honey and milk together in a sauce pot.
- Meanwhile, mix together all the other ingredients in a large bowl and then add the warm milk into it, using a rubber spatula to fold and distribute.
- Spread the mixture into the baking tray and press down with the spatula, or better still, your hands (wearing disposable vinyl gloves to stop you sticking), to even the surface.
- Bake for one hour, then remove from the oven and, after about 15 minutes, cut the bar to require size. Let cool completely.
