Breakfast bars

The recipe I am posting today is a Cookalong November Challenge proposed by Markella, who was nominated to choose the recipe of the month.
I’d like to thank Markella for choosing this wonderful recipe as I really enjoyed cooking and eating them. Guess what? I am addicted to them now. They are so good: they are tasty and crunchy. They are very easy to make.

For me breakfast is important. I never skip it. These bars are perfect for breakfast or as a snack at any time. If you are in a rush in the morning, just grab them and eat them on the go. I think the best idea is make them on the weekend and enjoy eating them the whole week. They are nutritious. Believe me if you start your day on these delicious breakfast bars, you’ll feel better and you’ll easily handle problems and stressful situations of the day.

I have slightly changed Nigella’s recipe. I didn’t find unsalted peanuts and I replaced them with a mix of dried cranberries, almonds and macadamia nuts. I also added some flaxseed and malted rye flakes. I guess any kind of nuts and seeds will be perfect for this recipe. If you don’t have dried cranberries, replace them with any dried fruits you like: currants, dates, figs, prunes, raisins, apricots.

Here is the list of ingredients I used to make 18-20 bars:

1 can of condensed milk =397 gr
250gr of rolled oats (not instant)
75 gr of shredded coconut
240 gr of a mix of dried cranberries, almonds and macadamia nuts
140 gr of mixed seeds: sesame seeds (60 gr), sunflower seeds, flaxseed, malted rye flakes

Preheat oven to 130 C.
Heat the condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat. Don’t let the milk boil.
In a large bowl combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, almonds, macadamia nuts and seeds.
Pour milk over the nuts-seeds mixture. Stir well with a wooden spoon.
Pan the mixture evenly on a baking tin. Press firmly.
Place a baking tin into the oven for 1 hour.
Let cool for 15 minutes and cut into squares.
