Ingredients




170 gr larger full oats
40 gr of raw , demarera sugar
70 inches gr of grinded almonds ( I used whole peeled almonds & grinded them  my food proc
60 gr of dried pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons of broken linseeds ( flaxseeds )
2 teaspoons of baking powder
80 ml of semi skimmed milk
70 ml of canola oil
60 ml of agave syrop

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 175°C ( 347 F ) for 15 minutes. 2 Take a large roasting tin about 20 X 30 cm. With the help of some kitchen paper, smear the bottom of the tin all over with baking margaine. Lay & large piece of parchment paper in it, with the sides overhanging the tin. This is necessary & easy, for later, to pull out the baked bars after they have been baking into the oven. 3 Take a bowl & place the oats, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, sugar, baking powder & the grinded almonds together. Mix well with a spoon. 4 Now, add milk, agave syrop & canola oil. Mix it all well trough with a spoon so that the liquid is well spread around the oats, etc. Mix it for a minute or 2. 5 Spread the mixture evenly with the back of a spoon in 1 layer into the parchment paper into the large tin. You can make a thicker layer too. 6 Place into the preheated oven & bake for about 25 to 35 minutes until the mixture is baked , the liquids are gone & the top is golden brown in colour. In my case, it took 25 minutes. 7 Turn the oven off, but leave the tin in the oven, to rest with the door closed for 30 minutes. 8 Now, take the tin out of the oven. Take the mix out with the help of your parchment paper on 2 sides of the tin. Carefully, lift it of the parchment paper & place on a wire rack to cool off. 9 When cool, transfer on a chopping board & cut into equal sized bars. It is easier to cut the bars when you oil your cutting knife. 10 Enjoy as breakfast, brunch or as a snack. Lovely with a good cup of coffee or some good tea.

About


It has been a while that I searched for a good crunchy health bar. I had several recipes but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I had 2 recipes & I made it into this one.
I love to eat them & they are just about right. I didn't add any dried fruits because I hadn't any in the house.
