Those muesli bars, a mixture of seeds, oats, dried fruit and honey along with some brown sugar, so simple to prepare and perfect for those who enjoy the natural goodness of seeds, cereals and fruit. They are a healthy and high protein snack you can add to the daily lunch box.
Recipe adapted from Taste.

  • 90 g Rolled oats
  • 60 g Desiccated coconut
  • 50 g Wheatgerm
  • 30 g Sesame seeds
  • 50 g Sunflower kernels
  • 50 g Pumpkin seeds
  • 80 g Sultanas
  • 125 g Butter
  • 150 g Honey
  • 50 g Brown sugar
  1. Grease and line a 3cm deep, 16cm x 28cm baking pan with baking paper. Cook oats, coconut, wheatgerm, sesame seeds, sunflower kernels and pumpkin seeds in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a bowl. Set aside to cool. Stir in sultanas.
  2. Cook butter, honey and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, without stirring, for 7 minutes or until mixture forms a soft ball when a little is dropped into ice-cold water. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
  3. Spoon mixture into pan. Use a large metal spoon to press down firmly. Allow to cool. Cut into squares. Store in a foil-lined airtight container for up to 7 days.

@CL
It's called "Weizenkeim" and I got them in Edeka.
And those bars are not crunchy, but chewy.

Shannon @ JustAsDelish 11/2/12 18:03

I made these bars, they are the tastiest (is there such a word??) chewy bar I've eaten! but the ingredients couldn't stay firm together. they become firm after I freeze them, but 30minutes in the hot malaysian weather, they just become soft and fall apart loosely. so I keep them in the freezer! haha. Maybe I didn't cook the liquids long enough for it to harden?

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 12/2/12 07:04

@Shannon @ JustAsDelish Could be. I think mine was even slightly overcooked, so it's a bit too hard.
