Welcome to FoodTube! I'm Susan Jane and I'm your very own health geek
yes I like turning your pesky sugar cravings into a healthy hit
seismic breakfast bars, miles better than the processed junk for sale in supermarkets
and you know what, way tastier, you'd be bonkers not to try them
they'll turbo charge your battery and service your toes in a way that cereal never can
so what are in these magical breakfast bars I speak of? Well, half oats, half nuts
and first of all we'll start by melting some coconut oil, now coconut oil is actually solid at room temperature
so we've got to melt it very gently on a low heat with some honey
and you come out with gorgeous, gluey, glossy liquid
so I'm gonna pour that in, and into this I want to add my mashed banana and
two handfuls of just regular pitted dates don't buy pre chopped because they're not
gonna be gluey and gorgeous and sticky
so at this point it's best to add any spices, you can add ginger, you can add orange rind, cinnamon
we're gonna use, some nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon, and some salt
Mmm this is where my nostrils start to levitate
the aroma is fantastic, so use whatever you fancy, sea salt is definitely something that you've gotta put in
tiny bit of cinnamon, and that's your glue
now, tumble in your oats, there's 200 grams of oats
and you know what, oats are a really cheap super-food, look at them they're gorgeous
they are filled with b vitamins, which are gonna turbocharge your morning
think b for battery, b for brain, b for Usain Bolt
time for nuts, we've got walnuts and we've got almonds and you know what
pure unadulterated nuts are such a wonderous food
we know that they help raise your HDL that's your good protective cholesterol and if you've got that high
your doctor's wildly going to applaud you
now look out for the LDL, L for low, that's the nasty # ok and these help raise your HDL protective cholestrol
this is ground almonds, a hundred grams and almonds are also a good source of calcium
wohoo!
and then a hundred grams of walnuts, these guys even look like brains
they've got nourishing omega 3 fatty acids to nourish your noggin
crunch
now that is gooey and gorgeous all that's required is a little parachute of
sunflower seeds, lots of trace minerals, that's about enough just a handful
and you scrape into a tin that's a bit bigger than a brownie tin, everyone has a brownie tin at home
if you want to use a brownie tin just cook it for that bit longer because it's much smaller than the tin I'm going to use
so this is an 8x10
give it a good smoosh
mmm, I can smell sea salt and nutmeg, it's really hitting my nostrils
into the oven, 170 Degrees, 180's too hot it's gonna make it crumbly- we don't want crumbly
so, in TV land already it's already been thirty minutes
cooked and chilled
now look how well they held together, mmm mm mm, these are humming with goodness
and the mashed banana and nutmeg and sea salt
*alarm*
hear that? That's the taste siren!
these are amazing, they're so satisfying, this is what I wanna do every morning
you will too, it's time you two met
in fact, it's time you meet my pina colada too
you're destined to be together
