Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups desiccated coconut
- 0.75 cups nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, or walnuts), roughly chopped
- 0.5 cups seeds (e.g., sunflower, chia, or pumpkin)
- 0.5 cups dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chopped nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble gently.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly combine until every ingredient is coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly with the back of the spatula to create an even layer. Pay special attention to the edges and corners.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the muesli bar slice cool completely in the dish. This is important to ensure the bars hold together.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slice out of the dish. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for a slightly firmer texture.
