This super easy recipe for 5 ingredient, one bowl no bake homemade muesli bars is going to be your kids new favourite snack! Perfect for lunchboxes, they only take 10 minutes to make!
1Tablespoonbrown sugar(optional, see recipe note 1)
⅛teaspoonsalt
1cuprolled oats(see recipe note 2)
1cuprice bubbles(see recipe note 2)
Instructions
Line a 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8") square baking tin with baking paper.
In a medium sized pot combine coconut oil, honey, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Cook over a medium heat until the mixture is melted and starts to bubble, then allow to bubble for 1 or 2 minutes.
Take the pot off the heat and stir through the rolled oats and rice bubbles along with any mix ins you are using (except chocolate chips - if adding these, allow the mixture to cool for 15 minutes before stirring through) Make sure the mixture is well combined.
Tip into the prepared baking tin and using your hands or the back of a spoon press the mixture down very firmly - this will help the bars to stick together.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before carefully removing from the tin and slicing into bars.
Store in the fridge for one week.
Notes
I have tested them with and without the sugar and I found that the 1 tablespoon of brown sugar made them much easier to press into the tin and after sitting out of the fridge for a while, helped them hold together slightly better than without it. But try both ways and choose which you prefer!
I have tried these with a few different combinations of oats and rice bubbles - you can do all oats for extra chewy bars, 1 ½ cup oats and ½ cup rice bubbles for bars with a bit of crunch and 1 cup of each for a happy medium!
