The happy time

Aside from my wonderful husband, Mr Kipling might be my ideal man. Yes, I like to bake cakes at home, but I find it hard to walk past the cake aisle at the supermarket without drooling over the Viennese whirls, mini battenburgs and of course the bakewell tarts apartments for rent in hk.

I saw those family-sized bakewell tarts on offer at the shop a couple of weeks ago and despite only being in there to pick up a bottle of water, I came out with TWO of those icing-covered, jammy pastries-from-heaven. Eaten before the day was out, they were definitely a contributing factor to me joining Slimming World!
I’m not even sure if Mr Kipling exists. Probably not. He’s probably just some high-tech computer sat in the corner of a cake-filled test kitchen, analysing probability statistics for flavours that are likely to induce catastrophic will-power failure in people like me.
My son Lewis asked me to make some granola bars for him to take to school. I’d usually go for my blueberry-Greek-yogurt version, but I was dreaming of bakewell tarts at the time, and that led me to this creation.
These easy no-bake granola bars come together in minutes and the almond-y berry bakewell flavour is so addictive!I’m not going to lie here – this is no slimming-world-friendly recipe. I made these for the kids (and only had a small nibble off a couple of corners). They do contain honey and sugar for sweetness, but they also contain lots of goodness like oats, berries, almonds and coconut oil. My kids loved them .
