Main Ingredients
- 3 cups your favourite Musli (or substitute with 2 cups fast oats + 1 cup jumbo oats)
- 3/4 cup coconut blossom syrup (or honey for non-vegan option)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup pistachios
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the musli or oats, coconut blossom syrup (or honey), peanut butter, and sea salt. Stir thoroughly until a sticky, well-combined mixture forms.
- Chill Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This chilling step helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to shape into bars.
- Shape Bars: Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper. Spoon the chilled mixture into the tin, then use a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly to compact the mixture.
- Firm Bars: Return the tin to the refrigerator and allow the mixture to firm up slightly for easier cutting.
- Cut and Store: Remove from the fridge and cut into bite-sized pieces. Store the bars in the fridge for freshness. If freezing, allow bars to thaw for about 40 minutes before eating.
Notes
- Use coconut blossom syrup to keep the recipe vegan; substitute honey if preferred.
- Adding pistachios and dried cranberries provides texture and flavor, but they are optional.
- These bars are no-bake and quick to prepare, relying on chilling for setting.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- To prevent sticking, use greaseproof paper in the baking tin.
