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 />
