- This scrumptious raw recipe comes from my friend and former River Cottage colleague Nonie Dwyer and the title sums it up nicely - these fruity bars are great with your morning cuppa as an effort-free but energy-packed breakfast or elevenses.
Flakes of millet - a nutritious, gluten-free grain, easy to find in health food shops - help to bind these sweet, tasty slabs together.
• Recipe taken from Hugh's new book, River Cottage Light & Easy, published by Bloomsbury.

INGREDIENTS:
Makes 10 bars
100g millet flakes
75g whole, skin-on almonds
175g unsulphured dried apricots
200g pitted dates, chopped 100g dried apples
50g raisins
2 dried figs, tough stem ends snipped off
Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Finely grated zest of 1 orange and juice of about 1⁄2 the fruit
DIRECTIONS:
Line a 19-20cm square tin or dish with cling film or baking parchment.
Put all the ingredients, except the orange juice, into the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until well chopped and combined, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides so the blades can process all the ingredients.
Slowly add the orange juice, pulsing the mixture until it comes together into a very stiff, chunky paste.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared dish in an even layer, smoothing over the top.
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or, preferably, overnight, then slice into bars. Store in the fridge. These bars will keep happily for at least a couple of weeks.

what's with the lens flare
Also did JJ Abrams direct this what's up with the random lens flare
Already made another batch. Truly delicious and great with a cup of tea or coffee. Thank you.
The end result looked decidedly like something you'd find in the bottom of a budgie cage, but having seen the ingredients I imagine they do taste lovely. Oh and it's useful to know that millet is gluten free as my sister has Crohns and can't tolerate gluten.
Love the view out your window looks like a great garden and a bright sunny day! :-)
Made them yesterday and they were perfect! The only diffetence was I swapped the millet flakes for ground coconut. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe!
Great idea with the ground coconut!
I'm fairly stoked to be getting this recipe book. I forgot how exciting food can be.
Thank you for this recipe Hugh, I was looking for a while for a healthy no sugar or honey alternative to a fast breakfast slice you can take with you and go when you rush out in the morning, this is what I have been looking for.
New book with a large variety of brilliant recipes！i will try！
That looks delicious! I can't wait to try it.
these are a definite must try -- and soon!
Looks delish and almost at its rawest best! Yum.
It's definitely 10pm here. I'll try this tomorrow. Thank you Hugh!
Making these tomorrow morning if my smoothie maker can take it! Looks so good and healthy too 👍
mmmm looking delicious
Looks beautiful .i want to come and work there
Those morning slice bars look fantastic and gluten free just right for us Vegans.I will be trying this one out. Thanks Hugh.
Wow I'm actually watching this near to midnight
I bet it's divine....and incredibly sweeet.
I have your cook book, YAAAAAY!
Morning Hugh, I have just seen your recipe and am planning to introduce it as a healthy snack, at any time really. It also reminded me to make "pan de higos" [maybe you wish to have a go at that on video for all youtubers...;-)? I haven't got a camera yet to do so... ] a sort of Spanish counterpart made with dried figs which is, obviously very healthy and delicious and yummily gooey, and last but not least, a great Mediterranean reminder of the days I was living in that country. Thanks for sharing all these recipes! Warmly Jerry at Verde Basilico Hosting & Table d'hôte .
0:19 Had a rough sleep? Rough night?
A wholesome slice, a lovely day and a cup of tea to calm ur head down.
4:49 The day holds promise.
Mmmm yummy!!
Great recipe and I love Hugh, but my the camera work is conflicting with my epilepsy tenancies.. so not finishing it.
Love the recipe and the new haircut that makes you look youthful and non-scruffy!
I'm actually watching this at ten to midnight; you called it Hugh
im litterally watching this at ten to midnight ahah
i bought yo new book (light & easy) last week please can you do a short video of new potatoes, asparagus & eggs. thanks
Can I used rolled or quick oats instead of millet?
How are these for diabetics ?
What would happen if you baked it?.... Low temp long time??
How long will these hold without getting spoiled?
Hello Hugh. Can one use rolled oats instead of the millet?
These look delicious but where is the recipe?
Looks amazing....loving all these River Cottage offerings and Hugh's cooking and presentation!
One small critique...please have your camera person modify there style a bit and not cut off the food and prep, in an effort to keep Hugh in the shot; perhaps stepping back some to include all.
Just a well intentioned thought!
Cheers,
Greg Douglass
Loved the recipe as my family and I are gluten free and always looking for new tasty food options--however I did not like so much the blurring in and out of the camera focus and the lights moving? All the camera tricks are not so cool...

I think I might have over blended mine? Bit sticky. Will see after a few hours....
Looks good -
Millet flour?? I'm in the US; I've got to google that and see what we have similar here- :)
Millet flakes, not flour. And you should be able to find those easy enough here in the US.
#rivercottagehq As an American the secret to a good cup of English tea always escapes me. How can I get a perfect cup to go with these slices?
Here's a handy how to... :)

What's really creepy is that I am literally watching this at 10 to midnight
I love all the recipies, BUT! I am diabetic. Any sweet/cake/energy bar (diabetic style) recipes that millions like me could enjoy? Thx.
There's a diabetic cooking channel called cookingguide, she specialises in cakes and yummy stuff for diabetics, also cup cake Jemma has a number of recipes for special dietary needs people.
I wish you'd do a video to all the people like me with severe nut allergies......there are so many things I'd love to eat but can't or have to find alternatives to recipes because everything deemed healthy nowadays seems to have nuts in it.
Terrible, terrible camera work. Hard on the eyes.
Need that now. Could you fedex me some ? haha
These intricate dishes are amazing! Check out some of our recipes at #Fame Food and let us know what you think!
I'm sure it's delicious, but it would drive my bloodsugar through the roof. And then it would crash and I would want another one. As a pre-diabetic, I escape the insulin ride by not indulging in snacks that are nearly a hundred percent carbohydrate (= sugar).
Some of these comments ... bicker bicker bicker
The mic fucked up at the end
I love River Cottage and I've bought the book . . . but as a video production professional these little videos irritate: The colour cast, the shallow depth of field and resulting wandering focus all detract from my enjoyment of Hugh and the food. Please just shoot it in a more standard style, light it well and have the food in focus. Thank you for all that you do.
So you're saying the video production matches the rustic-ness of the cooking? :P
Funny isn't it. No one ever turns around and says fuck me, that is awful Hugh!
wtf is that epileptic lights in your video?! make a warning.
The camera lens flare and blurry focus is enough to drive me mad. The recipes are wonderful and so is Hugh, as always, but stop with the cutesy camera work and this would be so much more enjoyable.
what a toff
Need more meat
i dont recognise you with this haircut
Very annoying background music!!!
