Weetabix & Fruit Snack Bars

As you can probably tell from my Nakd Bar review, I love snack bars - especially healthy ones! They can be a perfect pick-me-up between meals and make a delicious dessert idea as well. The snack bars below are an ideal lunch box addition and contain just 85 kcal each. They are also bursting with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and fibre from the fruit and wholegrain cereal, and contain healthy monounsaturated fatty acids as a bonus.

Weetabix Snack Bars

These snack bars are super quick and easy to make and can be adapted to contain different dried fruits depending on your preferences.

SO, to make these snack bars you will need...

4 Weetabix, crumbled
60g Self Raising Flour
120g Dried Apricots (no soak) - Chop into halves / quarters
120g Sultanas
1 tablespoon of Vegetable/Rapeseed Oil (not pictured)
1 Large Egg, beaten
60g Brown Sugar
135g Low-Fat Natural/Plain Yoghurt

And here is what to do..

First, pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees C/Gas mark 4, then..

1) Mix together all of the above ingredients in a large bowl

(I chopped my apricots after this pic was taken!)

2) Press the mixture into an 8-inch square or 7 x 11 inch shallow rectangular baking tin (lightly greased) - I used a baking dish lined with baking paper..
