Healthy Fruit Nuts and Oat bars


Halo everyone, This time I have come up with a really exciting recipe equally healthy for the kids and grownups. This can be a great afternoon snack or can be put in the lunchbox as well. Much better alternative than having a chocolate or sweeties and great fun way to have dry fruits included in their regular food intake. These are freshly made at home are are delectable to eat. I am sure you yourself wouldn't be able to stop after having one,  but .....hey... no problem,  you surely can have a second one guilt free !!



Ingredients :

Oats - 100 gm
Nuts - 200 gms  (mix of Almonds + Cashews + Pistachios +walnuts)
Dried Fruits - 100 gms (Strawberries+Cherries+Mangoes+Raspberries+Sultanas)
Butter - 100 gm
Castor Sugar - 100gm
Honey - 3 Tablespoon
Sesame Seeds - 2 tablespoons
Grated Coconut - 2 tablespoons

Recipe :

Preheat the oven at 160 degrees. 

Measure all the ingredients in weighing scale for the correct quantity.


 


Transfer nuts in a oven safe tray and keep it in oven for 10 minutes or so to have them lightly toasted.

Then put them in chopper to have them in really small pieces so that they can be easy to bind together.


I did put the dried fruits in a chopper as well. Finally all the ingredients looked like this. (See pic Below)



Prepare the baking tray by greasing it and lined with butter paper, so that its easier to take out.

Now, Keep the pan (heavy base) on medium heat and let it melt.




After that add sugar and honey to this and stir a bit.


Then add dried fruits, nuts and oats to this.


Also add the sesame seeds and grated coconut. Mix it really well.


Then transfer all this mixture into the baking tray and press evenly.


Bake it in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Times may vary according to different makes and types.

After you take out the tray let it cool down for 20 minutes and then cut into pieces in desired sizes.

Once made these can be stored in airtight containers for some time.
