Ingredients

100g butter
250g porridge oats
2 carrots, grated
1 tbsp milled flaxseed
1 tbsp chia seeds
100g mature cheddar, grated
2 large eggs, beaten
small bunch of chives, snipped
2 tbsp mixed seeds (we used a mix of pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds)

Method

Melt the butter in a large pan, then add the oats, carrots, flaxseed, chia seeds and some seasoning. Leave to cool for about 10 mins. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 20 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment.
Stir the cheese, eggs and chives into the oat mix. Tip into the tin and scatter over the mixed seeds. Press down with the back of a spoon, making sure it fills the tin to the edges. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into bars.
