Muesli Bars

[cathy79]

Have you tried the hazelnut spread?  That was a big hit here.

I've got all the ingredients, it's on my list to do when I start holidays on Thursday for 2 weeks.  Hope you've put a comment on the hazelnut spread thread as there's been lots of discussion about tweaking it.

lol I didn't even realise there was one in the EDC

I used this one:

Except I used normal milk instead of rice/almond and I used coconut oiil instead of ghee.

Quirky Jo's recipes are great, particularly if you have allergies.

Make sure you try these two other fantastic kid recipes

Thanks Cathy!  I thought this recipe looked pretty great - must try it!  I make a cashew and seed muesli bar which my kids love, with Rapadura and honey for the sweetener - don't think it's quite as sweet as this one... not sure.

Cathy: The amendments I made to the muesli recipe have turned out great... the sweetness is a nice level (for my palate!) and it's definitely a harder muesli bar (but still soft to bite into).

Not sure if honey would taste sweeter than the golden syrup... will try that next time heehee

Good work Snoozie - always good to have feedback and alterations.  You're really are mixing up a storm

That's great Snoozie, I'll try your amendments next batch.  Would you believe that my posted recipe already reduced the sugar significantly?

[Snoozie]

Thanks Thermomixer.

Cathy: You're joking!!! Sheesh.  Maybe low gi sugar isn't as sweet?  Should've called it diabetic coma! lol

[Snoozie]

Can someone give me an idea of how many of these this mix should make?  Just having a bit of a freak out after inputting this into the CK website and it gave me a very scary response as to the cals, fat, etc etc lmao  I was dividing by 20 too!

[cathy79]

Snoozie it would be interesting to compare with traditional bought muesli bars.

I think I get about 40 as I cut them into the size of sesame snaps.

I am going to make this recipe make for sure!
We love Muesli here at home.
It will not escape!
Thanks for sharing

[Snoozie]

hehe I just cut them into 40.... had fun flattening the mixture especially after seeing the look on DH face when he thought I was standing on the mixture in my bare feet! LOL

One way of getting the calories down Snoozie    Are you happy with the calorie count now you have 40 bars?

[Brumington]

OK, so I made these today to the exact recipe.  After cooling me and my three year old had one for after dinner. They were nice, but I was thinking something was just not right. Am I being totally stupid here or am I right in saying that these bars aren't cooked?  They are just cooled to make the caramel set?

Aaaaaanyway, I thought I must have read the recipe wrong so I bunged my now cool cut up bars in a 180 degree oven for 12-15 mins and OMG!!!!! They are possibly the nicest things to have come out of my kitchen in ages!

I'm in love!  Who cares about the calories?!

Lol. When I make muesli bars they are cooked (different recipe to this one)
Sounds like your enjoying them
