These cranberry, coconut power bars are our most favourite museli bar to date, so we just had to share the recipe with you all. It’s the perfect mid morning or afternoon snack if you’re following a healthy eating plan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup rice bubbles (or puffed rice)
- 3 tablespoons of chopped nuts – I used almonds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons coconut (can use desiccated or shredded)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 6 medjool dates (can use 85 grams pitted dates that have been soaked in hot water for 15 minutes)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons rice malt syrup (can use maple syrup, honey, agave etc)
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
- Line a tray with baking paper and set aside. We recommend a 20cm x 20cm baking tin.
- Mix oats, rice bubbles, nuts, chia seeds and coconut together and set aside.
- Blitz cranberries and dates together until they start to form a sticky ball.
- Combine the two mixtures together and blitz until combined, then set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, rice malt syrup, coconut oil and vanilla until well combined.
- Combine both mixtures together and mix until all ingredients are incorporated well.
- Press mixture into your pan and pop in the fridge or freezer to set.
- Once set, remove from fridge or freezer and use a sharp knife to cut into 14 equal bars.
They can be stored in fridge or freezer.
