Nutritious Muesli Bars {low FODMAP}

Love these for snacks on the go, great for lunch boxes and handbags alike. I make these every week without fail and I can't get enough of them.  They are a brilliant low FODMAP snack, and go perfectly with a mid-morning cuppa!

Makes 6

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup almond meal

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup mixed seeds (sunflower seeds & pepitas)

1/2 cup currents

2 tsp cinnamon

1 Tab chia seeds (optional)

2 eggs

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 Tab coconut oil

2 Tab rice malt syrup

  

Preheat oven to 180°C and line a loaf tin with baking paper. I find this provides the perfect width for muesli bars. If you don’t have a loaf tin you can always use any type of rectangle or square tin you have, and even make a slice instead of bars if you prefer.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, vanilla, coconut oil and syrup.

 - Coconut oil solidifies (hardens) in temperatures below 25⁰ C, so pop the two tabs in the microwave for one minute to bring to a liquid.

Stir wet ingredients through the dry ingredients.

Firmly press mixture into the lined baking tin.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Once cooled slice into bars.
