Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams muesli
- 200 grams creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
- 50 grams dried cranberries (or other dried fruit, optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
In a large mixing bowl, add the muesli, dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts (if using), and dried cranberries (if using). Pour the warm peanut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients.
Using a rubber spatula, mix everything together until the muesli is evenly coated with the wet ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands (use parchment paper to prevent sticking) to compress the mixture into an even, compact layer.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and holds together.
Once set, remove from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board. Cut into 12 squares.
Store the muesli squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
