Breakfast Bars

This morning, after the school run, I decided to bake. I wanted to make something slightly healthier than usual and as I had all the ingredients in already I chose this recipe for "breakfast bars" by Nigella Lawson. I didn't have any dried cranberries so used raisins instead, and I can report that they are very tasty indeed. I imagine they will be great to have for a quick breakfast as Nigella suggests but one with a cup of tea at lunchtime when you can't be bothered to make anything else (like me today) is also good! G likes to take things like flapjacks etc with him when he goes mountain biking so I think I might make him a batch of these to share with his buddies for his next trip away in a couple of weeks time.

Thank you for all the lovely comments recently, they are very much appreciated. I have nearly finished another couple of little crochet makes which I will show you very soon...

  7. Yum, they look delish, will have to give it a try. Made the rhubarb and orange cake yesterday and it is so very yummy in fact it is almost all gone. Not sure about you, but cake doesn't last long in our house. Enjoy xo

  11. Thank you for your recent comment on my bog. It has been lovely to meet you. Your past posts are very inspiring and yummy to boot! I think I have the same Nigella cookbook, must try and cook more but to be truthful...would rather quilt. So I tell you what I will whip up a quilt and you can cook up a storm. :-)
