Almond Sultana Muesli Bars

[TM Essentials]

Have you tried making Muesli Bars? The kids asked me to go the shops to buy some but it took the same amount of time to make them - plus they tasted heaps better and I know what's in them. The downside? They ate them all in one day.

Almond Sultana Muesli Bars

100 grams Almonds
100 grams Sultanas
130 grams Sugar
100 grams Butter
50 grams Honey
50 grams Shredded or Desiccated Coconut
200 grams Rolled Oats

Preheat oven to 160C.
Blitz Almonds and Sultanas for 2 seconds on Speed 9. Set Aside
Blitz Sugar for 5 seconds on Speed 10.
Add Butter and Honey to bowl and melt at 80C for 2 minutes on Speed 3.
Add reserved Almonds and Sultanas and remaining ingredients. Mix on Reverse Speed 1.5 for 1 minute.
Press mixture into a TM Essentials Mini-Cake Mould or a flat tray.
Cook in oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool in mould before removing bars.

Cookie - The flavour is really lovely, however mine are a bit crumbly despite being really pressed into the tray.

TME - Cookie, I used to make these with 120 grams of butter which helps it to bind. I reduced the quantity of butter in the recipe to 100 grams. I also let mine cool completely in the mold.

Thanks for the inspiration - had no idea what to bake today (only knew that Christmas eating was definitely over and I needed to start baking again!!!!)
Am using this as a base - think you can pretty much substitute what you want in this one!!! Using part oat part quinoa flakes, 90gms of rapadura instead of normal sugar and adding chia seeds and linseeds!!! Sure it'll be yummo!!!!

Thanks. I put mine into an 8 inch tin and pressed it down very hard. As I said the flavour is lovely. I did reduce the sugar by 30g but I don't think that would have made it crumbly.
