Thread: Muesli bar recipe?

Pretty much the same as Hunt 08 - the only thing I would add is to separate the layers with greaseproof paper (when packing in) as they form one big lump otherwise-




Tramper’s Oat Slice

Ingredients

125g butter (diced and at room temp)
200g (1 cup) sugar
26g (2 Tbsp) golden syrup
1 egg (lightly beaten)
140g (1 cup) flour
1 tsp baking powder
80g (1 cup) shredded coconut
100g (1 cup) rolled oats
75g (1/2 cup) sultanas
95g (1/2 cup) roughly chopped dried apricots
70g (1/2 cup) pumpkin seeds
70g (1/2 cup) sunflower seeds
30ml (2 Tbsp) lemon juice
Finely grated zest of ½ lemon

Optional: ½ cup of chocolate chips, cashews, macadamias, chopped almonds etc

Method

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Line a 30cm x 20cm x 4cm tray with baking paper and grease with butter or baking spray.
• Place butter into a large bowl, add sugar and golden syrup and beat until pale and creamy.
• Add egg and beat until combined.
• Add flour, baking powder, coconut, oats, sultanas, apricots, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, lemon juice and zest. Mix till combined.
• Press into the tin evenly with spatula or your hand.
• Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 30 -40 minutes till golden brown and firm to touch (I find this is quicker with fan bake – only 20 – 25 minutes - keep checking).
• Remove from oven and cool. Cut into squares or fingers.
• Store in airtight container for up to 7 days depending how crispy it is (the original recipe off Stuff said 4 – 5 days but it lasts much longer).
