Healthy Breakfast Bars With Jam Food

HEALTHY BREAKFAST BARS WITH JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8x8-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving a few inches overhang on two sides so you can easily lift the bars out when they're cooled.
• Place the oats into the bowl of a food processor or blender and blitz to grind into a coarse flour.
• Place the honey and peanut butter into a medium bowl and warm in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
• Add the oats and the remaining ingredients except the jam to the bowl with the peanut butter and honey and stir together. Use clean hands to bring the dough together as needed to form a thick, cookie dough like texture. It will hold together when pressed between your fingers.
• Set aside 3/4 cup of the batter.
• Place the remaining batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and press down evenly to cover.
• Spread the jam on top.
• Crumble the remaining dough over the jam and press down slightly.
• Bake for 22-24 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool completely in the pan. (You can speed this up by sticking the pan into the fridge.
• Lift the bars out using the parchment paper and slice into bars.

NUTRIGRAIN BARS -- HEALTHY BREAKFAST (WITH BEANS)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9"x13" baking pan.
• Place the beans and sugars in a large bowl, and cream them until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs (egg powder).
• In a small bowl, combine the flours, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, then mix or stir in the almonds.
• Use your fingers to press half of the dough into the bottom of the baking pan. (You may need to grease your fingers with non-stick spray to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers.)
• Put the jam in a small bowl and loosen it up with a small whisk or a fork (this will make it spread easier). Spread the jam evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
• Sprinkle the remaining dough over the jam, all the way to the edges of the pan, and then press on it gently to form the top layer.
• Bake until the top is golden and the edges are starting to brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in the pan, and then cut into whatever size bars you like and serve. The bars will keep for at least three or four days at room temperature, or you can freeze them.
