Healthy Oat Bars



In todays hectic world, we often turn to health bars when we are on the go. What we dont realise is the amount of sugar content in these, and the addtives contained within. For this reason I have compiled a basic recipe with jungle oats that is easy and quick to make, and wont leave you with the guilt of sugar indulgence:
2 cups Jungle Oats
1 cup flour
2 cups coconut
1 and a half cup icing sugar
250g margarine
1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
2 Tbsp Golden syrup
Grease a baking tray.
Melt the margarine over low heat, add the golden syrup and stir till combined.
Combine all the dry ingredients together and pour in the liquid mix.
Mix well together and spread the mixture in the tray, pat it down, keeping it at least 3 inches thick. Bake in preheated oven for around 30minutes, let cool for 5 minutes and slice before it cools completely.
You can substitute sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for 1 cup of the coconut....or anything else that takes your fancy - be creative!
