Everything in one bowl and that’s it – simply done. These granola bars are great for breakfast, a quick snack or for lunchboxes.
Ingredients:
100g Unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
200g Porridge oats
100g Sunflower seeds
25g Pumpkin seeds
50g Sesame seeds
50g Hazelnuts - chopped
3 tbsp. honey
80g light brown sugar
100g dried mixed fruit of your own choice
Method
Pre heat oven to gas mark 3/170c/fan 150c
Butter and line the base of a 25cm x 18cm tray. Mix the oats, seeds and nuts in a roasting tray, then place in the oven for 8 minutes to toast.
Next warm the butter, honey and sugar in a pan, stirring until butter is melted. Add the oat mix, and dried fruit, then mix until all the oats are well coated. Tip into the tin, press down lightly, then bake for 30 mins. Cool in tray, then cut into 12 - 15 bars. It’s really that simple.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
