Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped dates
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9x9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, chopped dates, and shredded coconut. Stir well to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved into the honey. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into the honey mixture, mixing well.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are coated with the honey mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press the mixture firmly into the dish, using a spatula or a piece of parchment paper to compact it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Using the parchment paper overhang, carefully lift the muesli out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool completely before slicing into bars.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
