To be perfectly honest, you're in a rush to get to work, you haven't got time for a bowl of cereal, you hate porridge, and your better half has got better things to do than slave over a hot stove cooking you an enormous fry-up at 'the crack of sparrow f@rt'....
But then you find, mid-morning, that you could eat a horse, and you can't concentrate, because you've got this enormous empty hole in your Tum.
(Health Warning: It has Pumpkin Seeds in, which could increase your Libido - so don't say I didn't warn you...?!)
This recipe is so, so simple, it's a pleasure to make:
Makes 18 bars. Prep time: 15 mins. Cooking time: 20 mins.
Preheat the oven to 180c/350f/gas 4. Line a 24cm square baking tin with baking parchment.
Put 100g each of sunflower, sesame & pumpkin seeds into a large bowl, with 200g of your own choice of semi-dried cranberries, blueberries, apricots, dates, sultanas, currants (believe me - the world is indeed your oyster here?!). Add to this 100g of porridge oats (gluten-free if needs must, like me) 2 tablesps. soft brown sugar, 1 tsp. ground cumin seeds, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground coriander. Mix this incredibly well together.
Put 397g condensed milk and 150g butter into a separate bowl, and place over a pan of gently simmering water. Melt these together until well-blended and hot (about 15 minutes?)
Stir the butter mixture into the fruit and seed mixture, and thoroughly combine.
Spoon the mixture into the tin and pack down lightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, cool and cut into bars.
Simples. And I hope you really enjoy them.X
