No Bake – Muesli Bars

It’s back to school… so stock up the pantry with lunch box nourishment!

Thanks to Georgia and her great website: Well Nourished for sharing this recipe  – http://wellnourished.com.au/no-bake-nut-free-muesli-bar/

Muesli Bar IngredientsIngredients

  • 100 gram (1 cup) rolled oats
  • 60 gram (½ cup) sesame seeds
  • 60 gram (½ cup) pepitas
  • 60 gram (½ cup) sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds, ground is best
  • 60 grams (1 cup) desiccated or shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
  • 125 grams of butter (or coconut oil – see TIP below)
  • 170 grams (½ cup) of raw honey or brown rice syrup

Optional – Dried fruit (or cacao nibs and goji berries!)

 

MethodNo_Bake_Muesli_Bars

In a small pot, combine the butter, sweetener and cinnamon over a low heat, stirring until combined.

You have a couple of options here. For a tastier slice, throw the oats, seeds and coconut into a large pan and toast over a low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring often (the coconut will colour and the pepitas will start to pop).

OR

Combine the dried ingredients raw.
Add the dried mix to the butter / sweetener mix, (plus dried fruit etc if using) and mix until combined (see TIP below).

Press into a small slice tin lined with baking paper (I use a wet stainless steel serving spoon).

Put it in the freezer for 10 minutes or until set.

Remove from the tin and cut into squares.

I store mine in the freezer.

TIP

For a slice that holds together better, use  butter or ghee (coconut oil melts more rapidly) and process the mixture so it is finer and sticks together better. Use the back of a big wet spoon to really compact it into the tray. My kids prefer this to a chunky consistency and it is better for holding together in the lunchbox.
