Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Use any of your favourite nuts, seeds and dried fruits (as long as the weight is equal to that listed in the recipe card).
- Coconut oil is used to give the muesli bars the ultimate crunch! However, you can substitute with butter.
- Substitute the rice malt syrup for honey.
- You can substitute the peanut butter with any nut butter.
- The cacao nibs/chocolate chips are entirely optional.
- Allow the Thermomix fruit & nut muesli bars to cool completely before cutting into pieces.
- For super neat slices, I recommend placing the slice in the fridge for a few hours/overnight before using a sharp knife to cut into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
