Breakfast Does Not Like To Be Ignored. Period.

      One of my eternal quests is to find healthy and quick options for my family to eat for breakfast. Between work and school and all that getting out the door in a timely matter every morning, it’s a challenge. So I’m always on the lookout because let’s face it-cramming a preservative and corn syrup filled pop tart into your mouth while driving to school/work/other is not the best option for any of us.

    I came across an interesting recipe for breakfast bars the other day and finally had the opportunity to try it out. I must admit I was a bit skeptical, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised.

    First you need to mix a cup of honey and a cup of all natural peanut butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Honey and peanut butter, together at last!

    Give it a few minutes, and soon that will turn into this: 

What a scandalous mix!

       Now you add in the rest of your ingredients: 1/2 cup shredded carrot (yes, I said carrot), 1/2 cup coconut, 1/2 cup raisins, and 3 1/2 cups of rolled oats.

An interesting combo...and a tasty one.

     It’s starting to look promising, isn’t it?

     Spread the mixture in a 9″x13″ greased pan and pop it into a 325 degree oven for 25 minutes or so and voila! You just made breakfast!

Ready to eat-Who's hungry?

    0n top of being good for on the go, I’d say it’d be an excellent meal over yogurt or even just crumbled in a bowl with some milk. However you eat it, it’s a tasty and healthy way to start your day-and I hope you have a great one!
