Oatmeal Energy Bars

Kids will never in a million years...love rolled oats. At least for most of the kids that know...my kids, my nieces, my nephews, grandkids (I'm not that old by the way)...so how to get them to eat oat? Put them in the things that they do love to eat. Oatmeal chocolate chips cookies for example? Yeah...but it kinda a cliche, don't you think. My kids love this energy bars...it has lots rolled oats, rice krispies, nuts, sunflower seeds and of course I have to put a little bit chocolate chips in it...just to make it more appealing for the kids..urmm adults too :) .



Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups rolled oat
2 cups rice krispies
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup melon seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cups dessicated coconut
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Bake it alright!:

  1. Preheat oven to 175Cel, spray an 8x8 baking tray with vegetable oil
  2. In a small saucepan over a medium heat, melt the butter, honey & brown sugar - or you can just put them in the microwave and heat until the ingredients fully melted.
  3. In a big mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients except the chocolate chips.
  4. Fold in the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combine. Add the chocolate chips.
  5. Scrape and fold the mixture into the prepared baking tray and using the back of a wooden spoon press it evenly as possible
  6. Bake for 15 mins, cool for about one hour at room temperature and and refrigerate about 30 minutes before slicing them up.
