Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams Puffed rice cereal
- 60 grams Dried apricots
- 60 grams Dried cranberries
- 50 grams Chopped almonds
- 100 ml Honey
- 50 grams Apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides to use as handles later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, puffed rice cereal, chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, and chopped almonds, and stir until well-mixed.
In a small pot over low heat, gently warm the honey until it becomes very runny. If you prefer, you can also microwave it for 30 seconds instead.
In a separate bowl, mix the apple sauce, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
Pour the honey and apple sauce mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated with the wet mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture has set firmly.
Once set, use the parchment paper handles to lift the muesli bar slab out of the dish.
Cut the muesli slab into 16 equal bars using a sharp knife.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
