Apricot & Chocolate Muesli Bars

Apricots, seeds and nuts with oats and chocolate. Delish!

Author Jana Macpherson

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup natural roasted almonds roughly choppped
  • ¾ cup raisins
  • 1½ cup chocolate buttons
  • 1 cup dried apricots roughly chopped
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup golden syrup
  • 200 grams butter melted
  • ½ cup white flour
  • 2 eggs beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees fan bake. Take a large bowl and add all your ingredients except ½ cup of chocolate buttons. Mix well.

  2. Line a 20 x 20 baking tray and place all the muesli bar mix in. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon.

  3. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown.

  4. Leave to cool completely before slicing into bars. I actually chilled mine in the fridge for 30 minutes to make them really easy to slice.

  5. Then melt the remaining ½ cup of chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Heat in 10 second increments until melted. Once melted drizzle over the bars.

  6. Set aside for the chocolate to set. Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

NOTES:
Swap up the nuts and seeds to your hearts desire for this one. It's very forgiving.
You can use white chocolate if you prefer.
Swap out apricots for dates for a different flavour burst
