After a healthy home-made snack that doesn’t take ages to cook? These cacao & apricot muesli bars with ‘Cacao Crunch Mix’ from Clean Mixes are surprisingly easy to make and are incredibly delicious!
Ingredients for 12 bars:
- 1 packet Cacao Crunch mix
- 1 cup quick-cook rolled oats
- 1 cup dried apricots, diced
- 5 tablespoons liquid coconut oil
- 6 tablespoons brown rice syrup
- 25g dark chocolate, for topping (optional)
Recipe:
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Line a square baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine Cacao Crunch mix, rolled oats & dried apricots. Add liquid coconut oil & brown rice syrup and mix until well combined.
- Transfer mix into baking tin and press down well and evenly to compact mixture into the tin.
- Bake for 18 minutes. Once cooked, remove from oven and use the back of a spoon to press down the mixture in tin well so the bars are less likely to crumble apart.
- Leave to cool in the tin for 30 minutes. Remove from tin, slice into bars or squares and allow to cool for a further 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate in a small bowl and drizzle on top of the bars. Allow to cool completely and let the chocolate set.
