Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams unsweetened dried apricots, chopped
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 50 grams chopped almonds
- 50 grams sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium mashed ripe bananas
- 100 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 50 grams raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a 20x30 cm (8x12 inch) baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped apricots, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and raisins. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the applesauce and vanilla extract, and mix well until blended.
Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated and sticks together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tray. Use a spatula to press it firmly and evenly into the tray, ensuring an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm to touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tray to help the bars firm up.
Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
