One of The Yoga Institute’s teachers, Gill Kamsler, made almond & honey oat bars for a recent teacher’s get together. Gill is ALWAYS making delicious food, she has a real reputation around the centre for her cooking! 

Ingredients

Make it your own and try adding coconut!

• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup siivers of roasted almonds
• 2 cups quick oats
• 1/3 c berries
• 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 tbs butter

Steps

Less then 10 minutes of prep time? Say no more!

1. Grease and line a standard sized (approximately) 17X28cm rectangular baking tray with baking paper, allowing the edges to overhang.
2. Place the peanut butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter into the thermomix bowl.
3. Mix for 5 minutes 80 degrees, Speed 2 or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
4. Add the oats and almonds.
5. Mix for 30 seconds on Reverse, Speed 2 or until the mixture is very well combined.
6. Add the berries into the mixture and stir with spoon.
7. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tray and press down very firmly with the back of a spoon.
8. Place the tray into the fridge for 2 hours.
9. Take out and cut into long bars.
10. Place the bars into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Gill’s Advice

• It’s a thermomix recipe but I think you could do the first part on the stove top, then combine everything in a mixing bowl.
• As the bars have butter, they stay firm when taken from the fridge- but may not hold for too long.
• If you’d prefer oat slices instead of bars, make the same recipe in a bigger pan!

Enjoy!
