I love to make a batch of these healthy muesli slices for easy snacks during the week. They’re super quick to make, and easily customisable with your favourite ingredients, so they can be made gluten and nut free. They’re sweetened with only natural sugars and are oil free, making them a much healthier choice than store-bought bars! 

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g almonds ~1 cup
  • 80 g pitted dates* ~½ cup
  • 80 g dried apricots* ~½ cup
  • 60 ml water ¼ cup
  • 125 g oats** ~1½ cups
  • 125 g almond butter ~½ cup
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°/fan 180°. Line a 20cm baking tray, cake pan, or oven-safe dish with baking paper.
  • Start by roughly chopping your almonds. You can do this by hand, or in a food processor. Transfer the almonds to a large mixing bowl.
  • Blend the dates and apricots with the water. If you don’t have a food processor, you can add these to a bowl and use a stick blender. Whizz them up until it resembles a chunky syrup- you want some small pieces of fruit to remain.
  • Add the blended dried fruits to the bowl with the almonds, along with the oats, almond butter, ground ginger, ground cinnamon and salt. Mix well until it comes together into a sticky ball.
  • Add the mix to your lined baking dish, and press it down firmly into an even layer. If you’d like, you can push some extra almonds and oats into the top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Slice into 12 pieces whilst still warm.

Notes

*It’s important to soak your dried fruits prior to making these healthy muesli slices, so that they easily break down into a paste. Soak them in some warm water for about half an hour before you start.
**Make sure you use certified gluten free oats if you need to keep these gluten free.
