Ingredients
100g pecan nuts
50g peanuts
200g porridge oats
100g butter
4 tbsp peanut butter
90g brown sugar
200g a mix of sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds
Method
Preheat your oven to 160ÂșC. Line a nine-inch square baking tin with parchment.
Carefully chop the pecan nuts and the peanuts. They do not need to be chopped too small just into rough pieces.
Mix the chopped nuts with the porridge and spread these onto a baking tray. Ask an adult to put them into the oven to roast them for about eight minutes. Let them cool down.
While they are cooling put the butter, peanut butter and sugar into a saucepan and ask an adult to put it on the hob. Warm your mixture until the sugar dissolves. Keep it on a low heat so that it does not boil.
Stir the butter mixture, the oat mixture and the seeds together until they are all mixed.
Scoop the mixture into your lined tin and press it down with your fingers. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Allow it to cool in the tin. Gently pull the edge of parchment paper and slide the whole lot out of the tin in one go. Then ask an adult to help you cut it into as many bars as you like.
