Peanut Butter Muesli Bars

Peanut Butter Muesli Bars

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup oat bran (other bran works, too)
• 1/4 cup milk powder
• 1/2 cup raisins or sultanas
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup light-tasting oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg

Method

• Heat oven to 180°C.
• Mix oats, bran, milk powder and raisins in a bowl.
• Combine the honey, peanut butter, oil, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Heat over a very low heat just enough to allow the ingredients to mix.
• Remove the honey mixture from the heat and mix in the egg.
• Pour the honey mixture into the oat mixture and mix.
• Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper and pour the spread the mixture out evenly over the tray. I usually just mold the mixture in the middle of the tray (see picture).
• Bake for 17 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and score into bar shapes. Allow to cool on the tray. Once cooled, cut into bars and store in an airtight container.
