New Breakfast Cereal Bars

Our answer

Nigella's new book, SIMPLY NIGELLA here, contains a recipe for Breakfast Bars 2.0 (p358). These bars are made with oats and cornflakes and bolstered with a combination of pumpkin seeds, falxseeds, chia seeds, goji berries and cocoa nibs. The bars are sweetened and bound with a puree of medjool dates which adds extra fibre.

The bars are an update on the original Breakfast Bar recipe (from NIGELLA EXPRESS here and on Nigella.com here), with less refined sugar. They are good to have on hand as breakfast on the run, or to eat as a snack. The recipe is flexible and the mixture of seeds can be varied according to your personal taste. You could use a sharp dried fruit, such as dried cranberries, if the goji berries are difficult to find.
