Name: Oat Breakfast Bars
Ingredients: 2 cups of (rolled) oats.; 2 cups of milk.; dried fruit.; nuts -optional-.; 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener (or sugar, but this is a bit more unhealthy).; 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine -optional-; 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract -optional-.; 1 large mixing bowl.; 1 small microwavable container; a spoon (wooden or just a tablespoon).; a baking sheet.; an airtight container

Step 1:

Put all the dry ingredients into the bowl.

Step 2:

add the milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 3:

melt the butter/margarine (a few seconds in the microwave should do it) and add into the mixture. Stir again.

Step 4:

Step 5:

spread out evenly on a lined baking sheet. Lining it with foil works best because greaseproof paper can get soggy from the milk. If you have a larger baking sheet, the mixture might not cover the whole of it.

Step 6:

Step 7:

bake for 20 minutes on 190°c or until golden brown.

Step 8:

cut into squares or rectangles while it’s still hot.

Step 9:

it might look like it’s too squidgy and like it won’t stick together at first, but don’t worry! Once it’s cooled down, the oats stick together better.

Step 10:

sometimes i like to sprinkle a little more sweetener on top and even a little bit of cinnamon!

Step 11:

Step 12:

store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Consume within 1 week.

Step 13:

Step 14:

i like to bake a batch at the weekend then eat them in the morning when i’m too busy to sit down and eat!
