Ingredients
- 200 grams Rolled oats
- 100 grams Mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, cashews)
- 50 grams Mixed seeds (e.g., sunflower, pumpkin, chia)
- 75 grams Dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, raisins, chopped dates)
- 120 ml Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 100 grams Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a rectangular baking dish (approximately 8x10 inches) with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, mixed seeds, dried fruits, cinnamon powder, and salt. If the nuts are large, roughly chop them before adding.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and peanut butter, stirring continuously until they are fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the warm honey and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips once the mixture has cooled slightly to avoid melting them completely.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool completely at room temperature. This step is important to ensure the bars hold their shape.
Step 9
Once cooled, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars or your preferred size.
Step 10
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
