Questions about Breakfast bar
Is one breakfast bar enough for breakfast?
A typical bar weighs about 37 g, so it is a convenient small breakfast rather than a substantial meal for many people. Pair it with yoghurt and a piece of fruit if you want something more filling.
How do you make breakfast bars at home?
Mix oats with mashed banana, a spoonful of honey and chopped dried fruit, then press the mixture firmly into a lined tin. Bake at 180 °C for about 20–25 minutes and leave it to cool completely before cutting, so the bars hold together.
How should you store breakfast bars?
Keep unopened bars in a cool, dry cupboard. Once opened, wrap the bar or seal it in an airtight container; homemade bars keep best in an airtight container in the fridge.
What goes well with a breakfast bar?
Have one with plain yoghurt or milk and fresh fruit; berries, a banana or sliced pear work particularly well. Crumble a bar over yoghurt for a crunchy topping.
Can you freeze homemade breakfast bars?
Yes. Wrap the cooled bars individually and freeze them in a sealed container. Defrost one overnight in the fridge or for a few hours at room temperature.
What should you check when choosing a breakfast bar if you have a food allergy?
Recipes can contain nuts, peanuts, milk, soya or cereals containing gluten, and some bars are made where these ingredients are handled. Read the ingredient and allergen information on the individual pack.
Are breakfast bars and fruit bars the same?
No. A fruit bar is usually made mainly from pressed or puréed fruit, while breakfast bars commonly contain cereal ingredients such as oats or wheat. The fruit bar listed has more fibre per 100 g than a breakfast bar: 7.14 g compared with 2.1 g.
