Muesli Bars

A while ago, I came upon this recipe at Towards Sustainability - it's a great muesli bar recipe, and got the thumbs-up from Michael (see this link here for his reaction the first time we made it), but we haven't made it often, as both my boys seem to prefer the muffin-style muesli bars these days.

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
6 crushed Weet Bix
½ cup sultanas
60g dried apricots, chopped
1 cup 100% orange juice
1/3 cup honey
2 egg whites

Method

1. Combine orange juice and honey in a small saucepan, and simmer over medium heat for around 10 minutes, until it thickens and forms a thin syrup.

2. Combine oats, Weet Bix, sultanas and apricots in a bowl. Add syrup and stir to combine. Add egg whites and mix.

3. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Press mixture into a lined 18 x 28cm tin, and bake 20-25 minutes until golden.

4. Cool in tin, turn out and cut into bars. They will last for up to a week in an air-tight container.
