Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews)
• 1 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, apricots)
• 1 cup honey
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra paper overhanging the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, mixed nuts, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Mix everything well.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine honey, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until well combined and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the honey mixture over the oats, nuts, and coconut. Mix thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well-coated.

Step 5

Add the dried fruits and chia seeds to the mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the muesli mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

Step 7

Bake the muesli bars in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

Step 8

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the dish for about 15 minutes.

Step 9

Using the parchment paper, lift the muesli slab out of the baking dish and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once completely cool, use a sharp knife to cut the slab into 12 evenly-sized bars.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
