FRUIT & NUT OAT BARS
We all know Breakfast is the most important meal of the day...eat like a king and all that (I tend to eat like a king for lunch and dinner too, mind you). You've also got to do your best to keep those horrible mid morning hunger pangs at bay and to stop the sneaky 11am biscuit tin raid!
I make a batch of these grab and go Fruit and Nut Porridge Oat Bars very regularly for mornings when time is too short to sit down for breakfast - and during term time that's quite often in this house.
TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THESE FRUIT AND NUT PORRIDGE OAT BARS
You can vary the dried fruit and nuts in the oat bars to whatever you fancy. I used dried apricots, raisins, dried cranberries, chopped pecans and some pumpkin seeds. As long as the weight adds up to 340g it will work.
These bars are also great for quick after school snacks or for popping into the kids lunchboxes.
If you don't like almond butter or have a nut allergy, use 150g of butter instead.
