How to Make Yummy Muesli Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, etc.), ½ cup shredded coconut, and ½ cup sultanas.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oat mixture and toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. (Optional: Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips once cooled).
  5. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup honey, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter.
  6. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  7. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup slightly thickens.
  9. Remove from heat and immediately pour the syrup over the cooled oat mixture.
  10. Stir vigorously to ensure the muesli is evenly coated with the syrup.
  11. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the muesli mixture firmly into the prepared dish.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  13. Cut into bars and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
