Sugar-Free Muesli Bars

I’m a huge fan of muesli bars. While buying them from the store is undeniably convenient, making them at home is surprisingly simple. The last time I made a batch was just a few days ago, with exactly 30 minutes to spare in the morning. I decided to put the recipe to the test, and to my surprise, I made it in time! Admittedly, I skipped the first step — I didn’t toast the oats and seeds for extra crunch, just mixed everything together in a bowl and baked the whole batch straight away. And you know what? They still turned out great. So if you’re short on time, now you know the shortcut.

These bars keep well in an airtight container at room temperature. In theory, they should last around 7–10 days, but in practice… I wouldn’t know — they’ve always disappeared long before that.
