Ok. I made these today and they've turned out well:
Fruit, nut and seed bars
Ingredients
140g light muscovado sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup
140g butter
250 rolled oats
150g walnut pieces
150g mixed dried fruit (I used a mixed dried berries pack)
50g sesame seeds or mixed seeds
The Cooking
It's really easy. Pre-heat the oven to 160C/320F/gas 3. Pop the butter, sugar and syrup into a pan and heat until they're melted. Meanwhile put all the other ingredients into a large bowl. Once the sugar, syrup and butter have melted, pour it over the rest of the ingredients and mix it until everything's coated.
Spoon the combined mixture into a square tin (about 23cm x 23cm or thereabouts) and then pat it all down so it's compacted. Put it in the oven for 35 minutes.
Leave it to cool completely, then cut up into bars. Simple!

Is so vanilla
Aren't the snack bars supposed to be a bit deceptive on that score? You think they're healthy because of the cereal, fruit and nut content, but they actually have a gazillion calories because of the sugars or chocolate or yoghurt coating or whatever?

Calorific doesn't automatically mean unhealthy as long as it is part of a balanced diet.
Although really, if you're eating a balanced diet you are probably getting enough sugar naturally without the need to add any....
Something that still binds while minimising the added sugar and fat wouldn't go amiss I suppose. I'm just not sure how possible that is.
Yeah, but making your own's still healthier than buying a pack I reckon.
I feel like an idiot, it's just flapjacks with other stuff in. So simple! So obvious!

These are top and so simple to make! My first batch turned out a little on the dry side so next time I'll reduce the quantity of oats or perhaps leave out the coconut. I made them with raisins and almonds because that's what I had in the house. And I used ordinary porridge oats - I'm not entirely sure what she means by "not instant".
