Beautiful Breakfasts<br />
It’s a common saying that breakfast is the most important meal of<br />
the day, but why? Does it really matter if you skip breakfast, I<br />
mean sometimes we’re all busy, right?<br />
Apart from just giving you the fuel you need to kick ass<br />
throughout the day, a healthy breakfast gives you nutrients the<br />
body needs. People who make time for breakfast often have a<br />
healthier diet overall! Here are some recipes to make breakfast a<br />
bit more fun.<br />
Breakfast Bars<br />
Ingredients<br />
• 1 x 397 grams can condensed milk<br />
• 250 grams rolled oats (not instant)<br />
• 75 grams shredded coconut<br />
• 100 grams dried cranberries<br />
• 125 grams mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame)<br />
• 125 grams natural unsalted peanuts<br />
Method<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 130°C/gas mark ½/250ºF, and oil a<br />
23 x 33 x 4cm / 9 x 13-inch baking tin, or use a<br />
throwaway foil one.<br />
2. Warm the condensed milk in a large pan.<br />
3. Meanwhile, mix together all the other ingredients and<br />
then add the warmed condensed milk, using a rubber or<br />
wooden spatula to fold and distribute.<br />
4. Spread the mixture into the tin and press down with the<br />
spatula or, better still, your hands (wearing disposable<br />
vinyl gloves to stop you sticking), to even the surface.<br />
5. Bake for 1 hour, then remove from the oven and, after<br />
about 15 minutes, cut into four across, and four down to<br />
make 16 chunky bars. Let cool completely.<br />
