Posted: 8 July 2010

This is packed with everything you'll need for a quick energy fix. For added sugar, melt some dark chocolate and smear on the top before cooling in the fridge.

Ingredients

80g butter

80g brown sugar

½ tsp salt

2 spoonfuls of honey

130g porridge oats

95g dried fruits (raisons, dates, sultanas)

50g mixed nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, cashews)

Makes 10 bars.

Method

1) Melt the butter, sugar and honey and salt in a saucepan.

2) Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir into the melted ingredients.

3) Line and grease a square baking tin and press the mixture into it.

4) Bake on the top shelf of a pre-heated oven at 180ºC for 20 minutes.

5) Store in the fridge.

NB: This is densely packed, so you don't need to take much with you. A nibble every 20 minutes or so will ensure it doesn't sit heavily in your stomach.

What are the spoonfuls of honey - teaspoons, tablespoons or dessert spoons?

I would guess dessertspoons Sean.  That recipe sounds a bit sickly - I'd leave out the sugar and just put in honey.
