What the original account establishes
These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- The makers set out to disprove Kellogg’s claim that a Nutri-Grain bar is an on-the-go breakfast by making one that could not be carried. The ingreedyents, as the account spells them, were 250g self-raising flour, 100g soft brown sugar, 250g margarine, jam, oats and a sprinkling of love. Sugar and margarine were thrown into the bowl and bashed with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy or the arm hurt, with the flour sifted in while mixing. Half the mix was slobbed onto a baking tray and bashed into a rough Nutri-Grain shape, a chunk of jam globbed on, the other half shaped on a separate tray and the two lobbed together; oats were sprinkled on and the whole went into the oven at gas mark 5 for 30 minutes on the middle shelf, enough breakfast, the makers say, to feed a small country for a week.

Throw sugar and margerine at maximum velocity into the mixing bowl. Bash it up with a wooden spoon until your arm hurts or the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Sift in the flour while continuing to mix.

Slob half the mixture onto a baking tray and bash into a roughly Nutri-Grain shape. Glob on a delightfully healthy chunk of jam. Blob the other half of the mix onto a seperate baking tray and bash into a roughly Nutri-Grain shape. Lob the two halves together. Almost poetic, isn’t it?

The original account
"Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Bars are a great on-the-go breakfast solution or anytime snack." proclaims the Nutri-Grain website proudly. For this pimp, we wanted to prove them wrong by creating a completely unportable meal of a bar. And that’s just what we did.
Ingreedyents
250g Self-Raising Flour
100g Soft Brown Sugar
250g Margerine
Jam
Oats
And a sprinkling of love
Step 1
Throw sugar and margerine at maximum velocity into the mixing bowl. Bash it up with a wooden spoon until your arm hurts or the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Sift in the flour while continuing to mix.
Step 2
Slob half the mixture onto a baking tray and bash into a roughly Nutri-Grain shape. Glob on a delightfully healthy chunk of jam. Blob the other half of the mix onto a seperate baking tray and bash into a roughly Nutri-Grain shape. Lob the two halves together. Almost poetic, isn’t it?
Step 3
Sprinkle on some oats and wham the whole mess into the oven on gas mark 5 for 30 minutes on the middle shelf.
Step 4
Amazingly, the result is one gangsta of a Nutri-Giant. A high-calorie pimp that’s certainly not for on the go! Enough breakfast to feed a small country for a week. And the taste? Nutri-licious!
