breakfast bars


While Internet browsing I found a recipe for Nigella Lawson's Breakfast Bars. I have made these before, but it has been a long time. I forgot how delicious and easy they are. You can literally throw them together in about 5 minutes, but they do take an hour to bake. I love them because you can easily adjust what goes in them, I tend to not put in the peanuts and add more seeds or a few chocolate chips. I am still trying to convince my kid to try them, he is in a really picky stage of eating where he is not big on trying new things (or sometimes old things). If he would just taste them they really are as good, even better than the granola bars that come in a box. Mine always seem to pool a little of the condensed milk on the bottom, I think next time I may try and use a little less. As an attempt to try to make the bottoms a little less sticky from the condensed milk, I put some back in the pan upside down, and put back in the oven at 300 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. It did seem to help, the bottom still looks coated by the condensed milk, but they are not as sticky, and crunched up a little bit. I like them.
Here is a link to the recipe converted to American measurements.

I think mine look pretty good!
