Muesli Bars!

- Muesli bars are great. They're nice for a
"on the go breakfast" a snack or for a "side dish" for lunch.
And they are so easy to make. Today i will share my recipe for my Muesli Bars filled with nuts, coconut, oats and dried fruit!

For 16 bars, you will need:

2 cups (about 172 grams) of rolled oats 

1 cup (about 130 grams) of nuts, finely chopped (i use a mixture of almonds and hazelnuts)

1 1/2 cups (about 110 grams) of unsweetened shredded coconut

1 1/2 cups (about 220 grams) of dried fruit (i use 1 cup of dried abricots and 1/2 cup of raisins)

2/3 cups (about 120 grams) of raw honey

1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit (about 175 degrees celsius) and line a baking sheet and a 20x30 centimetre baking pan with parchmentpaper.

- Pour the oats, the nuts and the coconut onto the baking sheet, making sure it is in one even layer.

- Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Pour the oatmixture into a bowl.

- Decrease the oventemperature to 300 degrees fahrenheit (about 150 degrees celsius)

- Now pour the dried fruit and the cinnamon into the bowl, stirring with a spatula. 

- Pour the honey into the bowl, letting the heat from the oatmixture heat the honey up a little bit (this will make it easier to stir the mixture together - be careful, it's hot)

- Pour the muesli mixture into the baking pan, and press it into the pan, using some clingwrap (you want it to be tightly "packed", else it won't stay together when you cut it into bars).

- Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. Let it cool for 4 hours, before cutting them into bars. 

- Wrap the bars into some clingwrap and store them in a dry and relatively chilled place (i store mine in the fridge). 

Enjoy!
