Delish Muesli Bars
Muesli bars or flapjacks can be a great breakfast on the run or lunchbox treat.
Unfortunately most shop bought versions are very in high sugar and saturated fats. I have created this recipe to use less sugar and more natural sweeteners like dried apricots, cranberries and ground cinnamon, which is great for all of those getting beach ready for the summer and those training for the Flora Women’s Mini Marathon. The recipe uses heart healthy fats from Flora, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Oat flakes, rich in B vitamins and cholesterol lowering fibre, make up the base of the bars.
Whip up a batch of these super delicious and “moreish” muesli bars for a lunchbox treat to look forward to!
