Cook time: 15 mins | Prep time: 15 mins | Serves: 20 pieces
Ingredients.
4 cups rolled oats
1 1⁄2 cups oat flour, blitz oats into a powder
1⁄2 cup desiccated coconut
1⁄2 cup pepitas
1⁄2 cup dried cranberries or currants
150ml coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of sea salt
1 cup of raw honey
Method.
1. Preheat the oven to a 180°C fan forced (350°F). Grease and line a baking tray (26cm x 36cm) with parchment paper.
2. Combine oats, oat flour, desiccated coconut, pepita’s, dried currants, coconut oil, baking soda and sea salt into a bowl. Mix well to combine. Warm the honey in the microwave for 1 minute then pour it into the bowl. Combine well with a spatula.
3. Tip the mixture onto the baking tray and even out with the back of a dessert spoon. Press down evenly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Wet the base of the measuring cup so that the mixture doesn’t stick to the cup. Make sure the tray is nice and flat.
4. Cook for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden on top. Again with the bottom of a glass or measuring cup lightly press down on the muesli tray.
5. Refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting into 5cm x 9cm slices.
