A power packed breakfast bar that can be taken to school.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup crushed corn flakes
- ¾ cup quick cooking rolled oats
- ½ cup mixed nuts
- 2 tbsp melon seeds (charmagaz)
- 1 tbsp sultanas
- 1 cup sugar
- oil to grease
Instructions
- Lightly roast the oats, nuts and melon seeds and keep aside to cool.
- When cooled, mix together the cornflakes, toasted oats, melon seeds, nuts and sultanas.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add the sugar and melt it over gentle heat, stirring continuously till the sugar is light brown in colour (caramelised).
- Remove from the fire, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Pour this mixture onto a greased marble or stone surface.
- Using a large greased rolling pin, roll it out lightly to form a square approximately 200 mm. x 200 mm. (8" x 8").
- While it is still warm, cut out rectangular bars of 25 mm. x 100 mm. (1" x 4").
- Store in an air-tight container.
Notes
Sugar burns very quickly, so give it your full attention.
Grease your hands, the marble top and the rolling pin generously with oil.
This will prevent the bars from sticking and also prevent your hands from getting burnt.
Remove the sugar from the flame just when it starts to caramelise because it continues to brown even after it is removed from heat.
