Muesli Bars

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup almond meal
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup flaked almonds
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon water
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice ( this quantity can also be reduced)
• 1/4 cup sultanas
• 3 medjool dates, pitted and chopped roughly

Method

• Preheat oven to 150 degrees C
• Line a square 8x8inch tray with baking paper
• In a small pot gently warm the coconut oil and maple syrup until it as melted and combined
• Add the water and baking powder and mix together with a fork or whisk
• In a bowl add the rest of the ingredients and mix in the coconut oil and maple syrup mixture
• Press the mixture into the lined tin and cut into bars
• Place into the oven and bake for approx. 45 mins until golden brown.  I like mine really golden and crunchy so baked them a little longer
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 mins in the tray then transfer to a cooling rack.
