Title: Vegetarian - High Fibre Date and Craisin Breakfast Bars - Tweaks
Post by: kateincottesloe on April 12, 2012, 12:58:19 am

Hi All,

1. Substituted milled weetbix for whole wheat - no whole wheat on hand
2. Quantity should be halved - obviously these measurements make more than the 2Lt capacity of the bowl
3. Date and Craisin mix is impossible to spread - I ended up mixing it with the flour/wheat/oats etc and spreading by hand
4. Used 2/3 butter, 1/3 grapeseed oil for more moist texture

Cheers,

Kate

I made these tonight  as per the recipe.
It makes a huge slice!
I agree with kateincottesloe that the craisin and date mixture was difficult to spread. I used my hands too.
I dont mind the taste but far too sweet for breakfast.
My DH doesn't like the at all....pastry too dry and hard to swallow and also too sweet.
Verdict from the kids tomorrow.
Would I make again.....probably not
Rate 3/5

Edit:  miss 11 thinks these are ants pants!!! She said she could live off them for the rest of her life!!  Miss 9 is unsure of the middle layer but thinks they're ok.
So I would have to change the rating to 5/5 and definitely make again :-))

I keep meaning to make these. I might try with a ½ quantity first time.
