I have been looking for a muesli bar recipe that I really like. One that is the perfect consistency (crunch and chew in equal measure). But nothing was really hitting the spot. So I created this dairy free, nut free muesli bar out of necessity. I’m thrilled with it. And after taste-testing at playgroup this morning, it got thumbs up from the mums and the kids – woohoo!
I made mine in the thermomix, but you do not need one in order to make it. I have provided instructions for both below.

The recipe is very forgiving so if you want more coconut then add more coconut. If you don’t have any apricots – then don’t add them! I think you get what I’m saying. Let me know what you think.
(Someone contacted me saying this mixture was too crumbly. The addition of 1 egg will help it hold together better, it does make it a bit more ‘cake’ like though. If you want to add an egg or two then do so when mixing all ingredients. I prefer it without, but wanted to provide the option!).
