Golden, crunchy, nutty and delicious, this homemade muesli bar slice is a great substitute for store-bought, sugar-laden muesli bars.

Gone are the days of buying average muesli bars from the supermarket aisle. You know exactly what you’re putting into these muesli bars and you can take my word for it that they will nourish and fill you so much better. Perfect to take to the office, throw in your kids lunches boxes, have ready in the fridge for those 3 pm cravings, breakfast and snacks on the go.

They will also store well for a long time in the freezer in a snap lock bag ready to whip out whenever you need them. I keep mine in the freezer so I can grab one out when I have long, busy days at Uni, the perfect snack to keep me going!

Only ½ cup of honey (or sweetener of your choice) and a sprinkle of dried fruit is used across the whole recipe which can make 16-20 portions! This recipe is so easy to make and is very versatile. You can substitute any of these dry ingredients with your favourite seeds and nuts or whatever you have at home to make it your own. You could even pimp it up by adding in chunks of dark chocolate!

I really hope you enjoy this recipe and make sure to post a photo on Instagram, tag me and hashtag #gabbypalmereats so that I can see your great creations!
