Since becoming a stay at home mum, I am trying to make as much from scratch as I can, which is beneficial for us both financially and health wise. Rather than buying Uncle Toby's muesli bars, I make these for P every week (he takes them to work every day). I love the combination of the pepitas with honey which makes them a little bit smokey but still sweet, and they are much more satisfying than store bought ones.
Ingredients
50g unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup raw sugar (could use coconut sugar instead)
150g pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
90g sultanas
1/4 cup flaked almonds
1/2 cup wholemeal self raising flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Line a 21cm square tin with baking paper.
2. Add the butter, honey and raw sugar to a small saucepan and heat until sugar is melted. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
3. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (everything else).
4. Add the sugar mixture to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
5. Put the mixture into the prepared pan and spread out with a spoon. With the back of a spatula, press down to flatten the mixture so it is nice and even.
6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown (I always check at 15 to make sure they don't overcook). Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the pan (If you remove before cooled they will most likely crumble).
7. Once cooled, cut into 12 bar pieces using a serrated knife. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
I hope you enjoy!
