I like to make a batch of these and then cut them and wrap single servings in foil to have handy in the freezer for the week. Much cheaper than the freezer breakfasts from the store and you can basically add/substitute whatever ingredients you want or have handy.

BREAKFAST BARS 2.0



Breakfast Bars 2.0 image

I have a breakfast bar recipe in an earlier book, but this is the new, improved version: gluten-free, dairy-free and enough seeds to make you start sprouting. I've used no sugar, but before you start thinking this is virtuously sugar-free (which I could claim it to be), remember that the sweetness that comes from the dates is, in essence, sugar, though certainly it's unprocessed and full of fiber at the same time. There are a lot of ingredients, but you need a good mixture to give crunch and chew--and all manner of smugness-inducing nutrients--though you can fiddle about with them. You can, for example, use sunflower seeds in place of flaxseeds, or half and half rather than all flaxseeds, as below, and you can also use puffed rice (gluten-free if needed) or buckwheat flakes in place of cornflakes. In theory, cornflakes (and oats) should be gluten-free, but if crucial, make sure it's stipulated on the packet. If you can't get hold of medjool dates, then use 350 grams (12 ounces) pitted dried dates and up the water to 400 milliliters (scant 1 3/4 cups). And they'll take about 10, rather than 5, minutes to cook until they're soft enough to mash to a purée. Make these bars at the weekend, and you'll be set up for the week if you're someone who needs to grab-and-go in the morning. They come in pretty handy for that 4pm slump, too.

Time 1h

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

250 grams (8.8 ounces) Medjool dates
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
325 milliliters (1 1/3 cups) cold water
75 grams (2.6 ounces) goji berries
75 grams (2.6 ounces) pumpkin seeds
150 grams (5.3 ounces) brown flax seeds
50 grams (1.75 ounces) cocoa nibs
25 grams (1 ounce) chia seeds
25 grams (1 ounce) cornflakes (gluten-free, if required)
100 grams (3.5 ounces) organic porridge oats (not instant)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F)/gas mark 4 or, and line the bottom and sides of your tin with baking parchment. Pit the dates and tear them with your fingers into a small saucepan, add the cinnamon, cover with the water, bring to the boil and let bubble for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and beat with a fork until you have a rough puree.
  • Put all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl, add the date mixture and mix until everything is combined. I wear a pair of disposable vinyl gloves for this.
  • Squodge into your prepared tin and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until firm and set, and golden on top and darker around the edges. Leave to cool in the tin before cutting into pieces.

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK BARS RECIPE



Everything But The Kitchen Sink Bars Recipe image

A basic cookie bar recipe that goes perfectly with whatever add-ins you want to include! It's the perfect way to use up those random leftover candies that you aren't sure what to do with.

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup butter (I used unsalted)
1¾ cups light brown sugar (packed)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1-2 cups various add-ins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the butter in a large saucepan and melt over low heat. Take the saucepan off the heat and add brown sugar; stir until completely incorporated. Let butter and brown sugar mixture cool for 5-6 minutes. Slowly add in the vanilla and then add in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add half of the flour mixture into the saucepan and stir well. Continue to stir as you add the rest of the flour mixture.
  • Fold in any add-ins that you want to include (chocolate chips, nuts, etc). Spread batter in prepared 13x9" pan. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bars comes out clean (be sure to not overcook, as they will not be soft and chewy if cooked for too long!).
  • Let cool and cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time in the morning by preparing your breakfast bars ahead of time. You can make a batch on the weekend and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: Overripe bananas are ideal for breakfast bars as they add natural sweetness and moisture. They also help bind the ingredients together.
  • Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to customize your breakfast bars by adding your favorite mix-ins. Popular options include nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and chocolate chips.
  • Adjust Sweetener: If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup in the recipes. You can also use a sugar-free sweetener if desired.
  • Store Properly: Store your breakfast bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
