Gluten-Free Muesli Bars*

Makes approx. 24 bars

My family loves these and they are super easy to make. A perfect snack for school lunches that isn't full of refined glucose (sugar) syrup. There is only 1/2 cup of sweetener - sugar and honey - in the whole mixture. And it makes a lot! As they are high in energy cut into smaller bars to last the week.  

Prep time 20 minutes + setting time

  • 150 g butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup raw sugar
  • ¼ cup peanut butter or tahini
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts; almonds, brazil, walnuts
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds (essential for binding)
  • 4 cups gluten-free muesli

or make your own gluten-free muesli mix:

  • 1 cup puffed rice/ millet
  • 1 cup corn flakes
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup raisins or currants
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

First make the caramel. Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the sugar, honey and peanut butter. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Pour over the caramel sauce and mix to thoroughly combine. Tip into a lined tin and press firmly.

Place in the fridge to cool and set. Once cold, remove from the tin and use a large knife to cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
