SECRET RECIPE MUESLI BARS

MAKES 14 MUESLI BARS | 10 MINS PREP TIME | 1 HOUR COOK TIME

Possibly one of the yummiest healthy sweet things you’ll ever eat. I’ve cooked this so many times I could do it in my sleep. When I was in primary school my sister brought home a handwritten recipe sheet from her home ec class and I just made it over and over again. It’s changed a bit since 1995 (pretty sure goji berries weren’t a thing) but it’s still just as tasty. Also, not sure why I thought it was a secret recipe when a school-load of kids had it, but we’ll just keep rolling with it as I’ve had it scribbled down that way for a long time! I hope this becomes a household favourite in your world too!
