Homemade Healthy Snacks Series - #16 Cereal Bars - An Original Recipe
<html>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/8wkqjJS.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Most so-called 'healthy' cereal bars contain sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, MSGs and vegetable oils... Not a healthy snack at all. &nbsp;Kellogs (Nutri-Grain, Rice Krispies, Coco-Pops, Special K), Nature Valley, Go Ahead, Belvita, Flahavans, Fibre One, Weightwatchers... Just to name a few of the popular UK &amp; Irish brands. &nbsp;I'm assuming the brands in other countries contain similar ingredients too. &nbsp;Considering these cereal or breakfast bars are marketed as being suitable for 'breakfast on-the-go' and are clearly aimed at children as well as adults, it really is alarming that many of us start the day with sugar and a while host of harmful ingredients, and yet we think we're choosing something healthy because the packaging tells us it's wholegrain and filled with fruit, nuts and other good things.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Thankfully it's very easy to make your own, and that way you can be 100% certain what they contain, and that they will in fact do you good! &nbsp;These are just as sweet as those brands filled with sugar, but contain honey and dates instead. &nbsp;Yep, I know I tend to use these 2 ingredients a lot, but they are wonderful as binding agents as well as natural sweeteners. &nbsp;I'd recommend always having these two things in stock if you fancy homemade baked goods instead of wasting your money on products that do you no good. &nbsp;This recipe also uses bananas as they add to the sweetness and help all the crunchy ingredients stick together.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>What you will need:</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>2 x ripe bananas</p>
<p>100g butter</p>
<p>50g coconut oil</p>
<p>150g dates</p>
<p>75g apricots</p>
<p>5 tblsp honey</p>
<p>75g golden linseed</p>
<p>75g mixed seeds (eg pumpkin, sunflower, sesame)</p>
<p>100g muesli</p>
<p>100g oats</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Method:</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In a small pan on low heat, melt the butter and coconut oil together</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Xnn8PIB.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In a large bowl mash the bananas, and then stir in the melted butter &amp; oil, along with the honey and cinnamon</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/AzPRobd.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Chop the dates and apricots finely and add to the bowl</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/W5dcKov.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/AvEStNu.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Add all the seeds, muesli and oats, and mix well. &nbsp;You should have a nice sticky mixture.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/mDnEAfV.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Line a suitable tin with greaseproof paper (about 30cm x 20cm) and spread the mixture firmly and evenly. &nbsp;Pop into a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celcius for about 30 minutes until golden-brown. &nbsp;It will still be quite soft when you take it out the oven, but but will harden up once cooled.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/9Y304kv.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Whilst the mixture is still warm cut into rectangles with a sharp knife but leave the paper on until they are cool</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/sYv5l2s.jpg?1" width="700" height="525"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

Thank you @michelnilles!  I just had a look at your posts and they all look delicious.  I would love to try making some of them like the spinach fritters and savoury muffins... is there any chance you could include the recipes with your photos?  Perhaps you don't have time but they look delicious!

My son is allergic to many foods containing additives from the store. And I am preparing myself to him all the sweets. Your recipes we really really like!

That's a huge compliment, thanks so much!  I'm glad you're finding my recipes helpful.  I too have a son and it's important to me that he doesn't eat anything with additives.  I will continue to post recipes I hope you will like, and if you have any requests please let me know!
