Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, chopped)
- 0.5 cup seeds (like sunflower or pumpkin seeds)
- 0.5 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 0.5 cup natural almond butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly warmed. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or large spoon to thoroughly mix until all the dry ingredients are well-coated with the wet mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. For best results, let the bars set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting.
Once cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into 12 bars. Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
