Dairy free - Gluten free
After being inspired by my family friend Jules' muesli bar slice she offered to my at a cycling event, I decided I must test out my own version that I could snack on for energy during races.
The day I finally decided to make myself some tasty treats, happened to also be a day that our house was running low on basic ingredients EVEN OATS !! Haha so I just thought, 'why not as well as a healthy muesli bar make a gluten free one.'
I gathered all the ingredients I thought would suit and taste lovely in my ideal muesli bar (that was available of course) Seeds, nuts, dried fruit what else could you wish for.

 Raw Muesli Bars
Ingredients
1/4 cup Chia seeds
1/4 cup Sesame seeds
1/2 cup Sunflower seeds
1/2 cup Pepita seeds
1/2 cup LSA mix
1/2 cup Shredded coconut
1/4 cup Goji berries
1/4 cup Sultanas
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1 1/2 cup Mixed nuts and fruit
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 cup Honey
1/2 cup Coconut oil
Method
1. In a large bowl mix together the chia seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pepita seeds, LSA mix, shredded coconut, goji berries, sultanas and ground ginger.
2. Using a thermomix or good food processor wiz up the mixed nuts and fruit until it resembles a crunchy texture with large chunks, this should only take a couple of seconds.
3. Add nut and fruit mix to the large bowl containing the seed mix and stir until combined evenly.
4. In a medium sized microwave safe bowl melt the coconut oil with the honey and vanilla extract for about 1 and a half minutes, or until all the coconut oil is liquefied.
5. Pour the coconut oil over the dry ingredients until they are completely coated by the wet ingredients. You're more than welcome to add more coconut oil if you think it is not sticky enough to come together.
6. In a baking paper lined slice tin press the muesli mix firmly, 5 cm thick.
7. Refrigerate until set and cut into slices. Keep refrigerated after it's sliced up.
