These are another of our popular snack foods around here, and full of goodness... antioxidant packed and filling because of the natural oils and protein in all of the nuts and seeds, sweeeeet from the dried fruit and agave :)
Into a good sized mixing bowl place:
2 cups Oats;
1 cup Almonds, partially processed in blender;
1/2 cup Spelt Flour;
1/3 cup Sunflower Seeds;
1/3 cup Pepitas;
1/3 cup Coconut, shredded or dessicated;
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds;
1 tbsp Linseeds;
1 tbsp Linseed Meal;
1 tbsp Chia Seeds;
1/2 cup Currants;
1/2 cup Goji Berries, partially processed in blender;
1/2 cup Dried Apricots, finely chopped;
1 tsp ground Cinnamon;
1/2 tsp ground Cloves;
Into a small saucepan place:
1/2 cup Coconut Oil;
1 tbsp Tahini;
2 tbsp Black Strap Molases;
4 tbsp Agave;
Gently heat these 'wet' ingredients, just enough to melt / combine.
Mix the dry ingredients together and make a well in the centre;
Add your melted wet mixture;
Stir well to combine into a thick sticky muesli mixture;
Line a rectangular cake or baking tray with baking paper, mine is the perfect size at 22x32 cms;
Tip muesli mixture into tray and press out evenly;
Place a second piece of baking paper over the top and use a second pan the same size to push down on top, compressing the mixture firmly together (you could also use a cylindrical glass or rolling pin to do this);
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the wet ingredients to set;
Remove from fridge and lift set slice out of the tray with the baking paper;
Cut into pieces using a sharp bladed knife;
(Should make around 24 individual Muesli Bars);
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
