Muesli Bar

• Prep: 10
• Cook: 50 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 2 tbs margarine
• 2 tbs honey
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup plain cereal eg. corn flakes, crushed Weetbix, rice bubbles, bran
• 4 tbs mixed seeds eg. pumpkin, sunflower, sesame
• 1/2 cup dried fruit eg. apple, apricot, cranberry, sultana, mango, fig, pineapple
• 1 egg white

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160°C and line a small tray or loaf tin with baking paper.
2. Put the margarine, sugar and honey in a small microwave safe bowl and heat for 10 seconds at a time till runny.
3. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
4. Pour the mixture into the tray and press the mixture down as hard as you can with your hands or a large spoon. Rub a little oil on your hands/ spoon to stop the mixture sticking. Spend a few minutes doing this really well as it will help hold the muesli bar together.
5. Bake for 40-50 mins till golden. As soon as you take the pan out of the oven press the mixture down with the spoon again.
6. Use a large knife the chop into 12 pieces while still a little warm. The mixture will get harder as it cools.
