    These yummy nut free Muesli Bars are one of my favourite snacks!  Thermomix instructions also included.

    Nut Free Muesli Bars

    I’ve talked before about our families love affair with muesli bars and this nut free Muesli Bars recipe is certainly a contender to be one of our favourite recipes. It’s filled with pepitas, sunflower seeds, chia seeds plus sultanas and cranberries, however you can easily substitute the seeds and dried fruits to suit your tastebuds – or what’s in your pantry!

    Nut Free Muesli Bars

    As well as being nut free, this muesli bar recipe is also no bake, which makes it practically the perfect recipe!  While the kids love these nut free Muesli Bars, they are also one of my favourites and a little piece helps to satisfy my after dinner sweet cravings, and let’s face it, this slice is a whole lot better for me than a piece (ok, a row!) of chocolate!!

    Nut Free Muesli Bars

    During the warmer months I do prefer to keep these Muesli Bars stored in the fridge as they can soften, however they do hold up well and keep their shape in the kids lunchboxes.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ½ cups 170g rolled oats
    • 1 cup 85g desiccated coconut
    • ¼ cup 40g wheat germ
    • ½ cup 75gsultanas
    • ¼ cup 40g cranberries
    • ½ cup 50g sunflower seeds
    • ½ cup 50g pepitas
    • Sesame seeds: 2 tablespoons
    • Chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
    • 125 g butter
    • ½ cup 150g rice malt syrup
    • ⅓ cup 65g brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

    Instructions
     

    • Line a 28cm x 18cm slice tin with baking paper, making sure you leave some hanging over the sides to help you remove once the muesli bars have set.
    • In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, dessicated coconut, wheat germ, sultanas, cranberries, sunflower seeds, pepitas, sesame seeds and chia seeds and stir to combine. Set aside until needed.
    • Cut the butter into cubes and place it along with the rice malt syrup, brown sugar and cinnamon into a small saucepan.
    • Heat over a medium high heat until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to bubble and froth gently.
    • Cook for 3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is a deep brown colour.
    • Add the butter mixture to the bowl with your other ingredients and stir to combine, making sure that all of the ingredients are covered with the butter mixture.
    • Pour the mixture into your prepared slice tin and use the back of a spoon to firmly press the mixture into the tin and flatten the surface. It’s important to make sure it’s compressed as otherwise it won’t stick together.
    • Place the slice tin into the fridge for 1 hour to firm before cutting into 24 pieces.

    Notes

    You can also use raisins, chopped dried apricots or other dried fruits/seeds for this recipe.

      Yay!! Finally a nut free bar I can send to school with the kids! Two questions, though. We are not coconut fans. If we omit this ingredient, do we need to adjust anything else in the recipe to keep the same “consistency”? Also, the rice malt strip – could I use agave or maple syrup instead?

        Hi Mandy! hmm, I would maybe add an extra half cup of oats or even some wheat germ instead as otherwise the bars might be too stickY? You can certainly use maple or agave syrup instead. I’d love to hear how you go xx
