It’s the weekend. Finally I feel like I’ve found some time and space in life to catch up with myself a little. I’ve had the steam cleaner out, which I have to share with Miss K, cleaning fanatic. I’ve pretty much put all the washing away (MIRACLE) and due to my Slow Cooker Experiment dinner is cooking, the baby napping. SO…it was time to get out Vlog on and try a new recipe out 🙂
Who doesn’t love a bit of carrot cake? Combine that with a cereal bar love in our house and these have instantly become a winner. These came about at Miss K’s fav veggie is carrot and she loves the bought cereal bars (which mummy meanly rarely buys)…. so I decided it was time to play around with making a savoury feel cereal bar for her. They are surprisingly good.
So here we are, back in action one again….
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1 cup prunes
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup almonds (whole or ground)
- 1 carrot
- 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp apple sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a baking tray.
- Grind the almonds in a food processor or use ground almonds if you prefer.
- Now puree the prunes with 1 tbsp water to make a paste.
- Mix the oats and prunes together then add the almonds.
- Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the mixture.
- Now measure out the seeds and add along with the apple sauce and oil.
- Melt the honey and mix it all together.
- Spoon into the baking tray and level off the top.
- Now bake for 30-35 minutes, then leave to cool before slicing into bars.
It’s a good idea for savoury cereal bars. My five-year-old enjoys carrots so this might be something nice for us to try together.
Mmmm delicious. My best treat is Paleo Granola
I absolutely love carrot cake but these definitely sounds healthier. Yum, they look delicious!
Absolutely love carrots. These look amazing. Will have to give them a go soon.
Fabulous! Spread the carotene love 🙂
Yummy, these look great! I love how involved your little one is all the way through too. 🙂
Thanks so much, she loves cooking (probably as it means eating!).
Love these I will be trying these very soon
We love carrot cake, so I am going to have a go at making these and will let you know how they turn out
Oooo please do!
I love carrot cake but never thought about doing a carrot cereal bar. They sound so yummy and think I’ll give them a try. I’m sure my little ones would love them!
Thankyou, I hope you all like them!
I have never had a carrot cereal bar before, but I do like Carrot cake x
Who doesn’t… yum carrot cake!
How many calories per bar please.
I’m afraid I don’t know as I’m not a fan of calorie counting.
These look delicious. Any cereal bar that contains a vegetable is a winner in my book – even more so if the kids like it too.
Absoutely! These were Miss K’s idea, she loves carrots.
These look fantastic and an easy way to get the kids involved in the kitchen too.
Thanks Ryan, hope the kids like them.
