Catherine, these look wonderful, I think maybe they should be dessert instead of breakfast, they look amazing!

I keep seeing delicious breakfast bar recipes and thinking I really ought to make them, but I never quite get around to it. I think I quite like savoury for breakfast really. I've not seen any with cream cheese and jam in before and they look very tasty. Maybe I should make them as tea bars instead.
These sound good...I think my kids would like them with chocolate spread for a dessert too.
You got me with the cream cheese in the batter. I bet that gave it a nice and tangy flavor. They look great :)
