This recipe is a real winner in our household. It is adapted from the Muesli Slice recipe in the Australian Women's Weekly Healthy Babies cookbook, but is great for all the family. The good things about making your own muesli bars is you know what goes into them, they're cheap and really easy to make, and don't require any packaging (unlike the shop bought ones)...and they are yummy.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cornflakes
1 cup rice bubbles (I often use puffed millet for a healthier and cheaper alternative)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
400g can of skim sweetened condensed milk.
I also add any variation of the following: sultanas, craisins, currants, cranberries, pepitas, sesame seeds, nuts.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Press the mixture firmly into a 24cm by 32cm swiss roll pan. Bake in oven at 160 degrees celius or (or 140 if you have a fan forced oven). My oven is so old it is still in Farhenheit (325 degrees). Cook for 40 minutes or until browned lightly. If you like your muesli bars crunchy, you may like to turn it over to brown the other side or cook longer. Allow to cool in the pan. Lift slice from pan and cut into bars.
