Oatmeal Bars with Nuts and Fruits

Ingredients

• 400 g honey
• 80 g unsalted peanuts
• 50 g cashews
• 200 g hearty rolled oats
• 200 g wheat flakes
• 20 g almond sticks
• 180 g dried fruit (apricots, raisins, dates or figs)
• 0.25 tsp vanilla powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp peeled sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1.

   Add honey and 140 ml water to a pot and heat until the honey dissolves.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, roughly chop peanuts and cashews and mix with oats, wheat flakes, and almond sticks in a large bowl. Chop apricots into small pieces; add apricots, raisins, vanilla powder, and salt to the nut-flake mixture. Pour honey-water over it. Separate eggs; whisk yolks and peanut butter into the nut-flake mixture. Let the mass sit for 10 minutes.

3. 3.

   Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them into the oatmeal mixture. Spread the batter evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and press firmly onto the sheet using a rolling pin. Remove the film, sprinkle sesame seeds, and bake in a preheated oven at 175 °C (convection 150 °C; gas: level 2) for 20–30 minutes until golden yellow. Take out and cut into pieces immediately.
