Breakfast Bars


A quick post today before we head out to Aidan's "favourite op-shop", yep, he has a favourite, definitely a toy thing.

Amelie has been loving school...phewww, so I felt like she needed a "well done" kind of treat and a treat from me often involves some making & baking.  
Aidan helped make this so it's a good one for kids to be involved in.

Breakfast Bars


ingredients
  • 1/2 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1 weetbix/vitabrits, broken up
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups fruit & nut cereal or fruit & nut muesli
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
method
  • preheat oven to 170C and line 20cm tin with baking paper
  • combine all dry ingredients in a bowl
  • mix milk, egg, oil and honey together and pour into dry ingredients, mix until combine
  • pour into prepared tin and bake for 25-30 min or until golden
  • allow to cool and cut into bars
* if you find the mixture is too wet, add a little more wholemeal flour, it should be slightly wet, not a stiff mixture


Have a happy Friday lovelies ♥

    I think my kids would really go for that - almost like having a biscuit for breakfast but it's healthy.

    Oh what a lovely big sigh of relief for you, that Amelie's enjoying school. I understand the urge to bake for them - it's just like a big cuddle! I'm feeling similar relief that Doots is settling in to kinder pretty well. Exhausted, but not freaked out.

    Have a lovely weekend Cathie xx

    Wow that looks really good, must try it! My mum used to make some kind of slice using weetbix, but I admit it did have chocolate icing :).

    BTW, your blog does take a little while to load for my connection.

    Can you tell that I'm getting my dose of m.e. I've really missed you, and it's all my fault I've been missing out on your lovely posts. I've got this one printed out and ready to make on the weekend for kinder snacks. It's perfect! xx

    Thanks for this recipe, Cathie...I've been looking for a way to get back into eating breakfast. No need to look anymore.

    I doubled the mix and also added crumbed walnuts, psyllium husk and seeds, linseed, oat bran, pepitas and sunflower kernels....it turned out great...and tastes even better!

    Looks like this will be a weekly feature in this household.

    Thanks again.

    Interesting, but I have to ask what (aweetbix/vitabrits) are? I thought it was the cereal, but saw that lower on the list.

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat.

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy.
