Healthy Breakfast Bars

[cheezelkat]

This recipe is great for using up the last dredges of cereal in a box

1 egg
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 tb melted butter (I used light margarine)
3 tb honey or golden syrup
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 cups breakfast cereal (I used 1 cup muesli, 1 cup crushed weetbix, 1 cup cornflakes)
3/4 cup self raising flour
3/4 cup dried fruit (apricots, sultanas...)

Mix together the egg, sugar, butter, honey. Mix in the other ingredients until the flour is incporporated. Press into a slab tin thats been coated well with cooking spray and bake at 180 degrees fpr 20 - 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

I was gonna say healthy? Not with all that sugar in it. Could you use more honey instead of sugar?

[Lirael]

lol honey is just as bad. but CK, the recipe lokks scrummy, and I would definately give it to my kids as a treat with a bit less sugar(honey, actual sugar etc) there not big sugar fans (unlike mummy:D:o)

Hey, blame the recipe writers - 3tbs honey and a 1/3 cup loose brown sugar hasn't killed anyone yet, especially over 15 bars :rolleyes:

Actually I though it was a pretty low amount of sugar, considering a lot of recipes always have lots more.

I find it hard to even find anything with less than 1/2 cup of sugar.

Maybe you could swap the sugar and honey with apple puree.

Mmm sounds nice we always have breakfast cereal left over (sometimes I mix it with the dog food and give it to the dog I hate waisting food) could I use rice bubbles?
