No Bake Muesli Bars
My good friend Josie made these one day and I could not stop eating them! They are really easy with no baking and you can pretty much put whatever you have in the pantry in them. I like to load them up with a heap of good stuff for my toddler. This is my favourite combination.
I don’t really use dried cranberries for anything else, but they taste amazing in these muesli bars. These bars are quite sweet and chewy as they aren’t baked. Perfect to replace store bought muesli bars, even though store bought are so cheap and convenient.
To make these more nutritious and easier to digest, soak the oats overnight in filtered water and a tablespoon of whey (the liquid that sits on top in an open tub of yoghurt)

Description
These no bake muesli bars are perfect for school lunchboxes. You can throw them together the night before and they will be set by the morning. Just use whatever dried fruit and seeds you have in your pantry!
Ingredients
- 11/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup goji berries
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 110g butter
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions
Line a 18cm x 27cm tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl combine everything except the butter, sugar and honey.
Place these three ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has melted, then leave on the heat for 5 mins without touching. The mixture will bubble and then to test, drop a teaspoon of the mixture into cold water, if it forms a caramel ball it is ready.
Pour over dry ingredients and mix quickly until all combined.
Spread evenly onto tray and set in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Cut into desired pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
Notes
You can mix and match with other seeds or dried fruit such as sultanas, dried apricot and dried apple.
