SCRUMPTIOUS MEUSLI BARS

Are you looking for a delicious mid morning or afternoon snack that is full of natural ingredients with no additives or preservatives? Then look no further - I made these meusli bars on Sunday - they are really good! You need a small non stick loaf tin.

1. Preheat oven to gas 5 or 190c/375f.
2. Put 275g DRIED FRUIT (dates, figs, apricots, prunes, pears, raisins - a mix of whatever you fancy) in a food processor & blitz till well chopped.
3. Do the same with 50g UNSALTED NUTS.
4. Warm 80ml FRUIT JUICE (orange, apple or grape) & 30ml HONEY in a large pan.
5. Add the dried fruit, nuts, 75g MIXED SEEDS & 15ml CINNAMON or GINGER to the pan.
6. Finally add 60g sifted WHOLEMEAL FLOUR & 125g ROLLED OATS.
7. Mix well & tip into loaf tin.
8. Bake for 20 mins in the centre of the oven.
9. Cool in the tin.
10. Cut into 12 slices & keep in an airtight container.

For those who want to know there are 160 calories in a slice, or have half a slice for 80!

Happy eating!
