Craving like something sweet?

Every working day I used to be starving on train, while having my breakfast (after commuting to the office for 2 hours). I usually bought some oat bars or biscuits from the shop but...after reading the list of ingredients I told myself "honestly? can you not make it better"? So I went shopping and here is the recipe for a healthy yummy snack. You can even use it as granola in your morning bowl of milk or yogurt or just carry it in your handbag and have always this "first aid" at hand.
Ingredients:
1 handful of walnuts
1 handful of hazelnuts
1 handful of cashew
1 handful of sunflower seeds
1 handful of sesame seeds
1 handful of goji
1 handful of chopped dried figs
1 handful of chopped dried prunes
1 handful of raisins
1 handful of oats (alternatively) 3-4 teaspoons of honey (I used my homemade elderflower one)


Method: Mix the nuts, seeds and fruit in a wok and heat for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the nuts. Transfer the mixture into the bowl, add honey and mix with the wooden spoon until combined. Place the mixture on a baking paper. Place another sheet of paper on top and make it flat with your hands or use the kitchen roller. Leave in the fridge for several hours. Then cut into squares or as you prefer. The good thing is that you can use whatever ingredients you have in your cupboard.
