Recipe by Women’s Weekly Food

Don’t you just love muesli bars? They are the perfect snack and a great treat to take to school. I love this recipe, it’s the kind of thing to make when you are in a rush or not in the mood for complicated, extravagant cakes. I chuck anything and everything in. Sultanas, a range of seeds, choc chips, dried fruit, it doesn’t matter. It still tastes amazing. If you are missing a couple of ingredients, substitute it for something else, experiment. Make it just that little bit unique. Have fun with your baking, that’s what I love. This recipe is great for doing just that.

Big thanks to Women’s Weekly Food for creating this scrumptious slice. xx
