Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rolled oats
- 100 grams Mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, cashews)
- 50 grams Mixed seeds (e.g., sunflower, pumpkin, chia)
- 75 grams Dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, raisins, chopped dates)
- 120 ml Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 100 grams Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a rectangular baking dish (approximately 8x10 inches) with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, mixed seeds, dried fruits, cinnamon powder, and salt. If the nuts are large, roughly chop them before adding.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and peanut butter, stirring continuously until they are fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm honey and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips once the mixture has cooled slightly to avoid melting them completely.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool completely at room temperature. This step is important to ensure the bars hold their shape.
Once cooled, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars or your preferred size.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
