For Kell’s birthday this year I made up a batch of these and sent them along with some other goodies for his birthday, they were a big hit.

Birthday Breakfast Bars

Preheat Oven to 250F

Grease and line with parchment paper a 9×13 inch baking tin and set aside.

1 14oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 ½ cups Rolled Oats (not instant)

1 cup Shredded Coconut

1 cup Dried Cranberries

1 cup Roasted Peanuts

½ cup Dried Apricots (chopped)

1 cup Pitted Dates (chopped)

Or any other dried fruit or nuts you’d like.

Mix together the oats and dried fruit and nuts in a large bowl making sure the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the oats.

In a microwave safe container heat the sweetened condensed milk in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 & ½ minutes.

Add the sweetened condensed milk to the oats mixture and mix well. Scrape the mixture into the baking tin and press into an even layer.

Bake for 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and allow to set for 15 minutes. Cool completely and cut into bars. Store in an airtight container or zip top bag.
