Kids Lunchbox Club - Homemade Muesli Bars

Homemade Muesli Bars

Line up the kids lunchboxes cause they'll all want a piece of this.....

This is so easy to make - and very versatile - you can substitute many different flavours and varieties to make muesli bars options that are endless!

This is what I used: (for the batch pictured!)

2 cups home made summer muesli 

1/2 cup soy or coconut flour
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder

1/2 cup rye flakes

1/2 cup wholemeal flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup soy yogurt (I used blueberry flavour, any would work)

1/2 cup apple sauce

1/2 cup soymilk

1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons vinegar

Pour the soy milk into a measuring jug and stir in the apple cider vinegar - this will curdle the milk and make it thick. 

In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Make a well in the centre and add the yogurt, apple sauce, milk mixture and vanilla. Stir until well combined and all dry ingredients are coated with wet mixture.

This mixture will be very sticky.

Line a 25cm square baking pan with baking paper. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 180C for 25 minutes.

Allow to cool before slicing.

This makes 12 bars - depending on how wide you slice them.

To avoid arguments I recommend slicing them evenly ;-)

Variations:

* You can sub any muesli you like or just use oats. 

* I don't normally use coconut flour due to it's high fat content but had some on hand that needed to be used up - you can sub almond flour or other ground nuts,  dried plant-milk pulp or nut/seed milo.
