Gluten free/grain/dairy/nut free muesli bars

Perfect for your child's lunchbox or for your snack, the chocolate drizzle gives it a yummy optional extra

 

For nut free use a seed mix only, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, chia, flaxseeds, hemp and use avocado or light olive oil.

For dairy free do not use butter and use dairy free chocolate

Ingredients

½ cup of dates, tightly packed (100g)

¼ cup of other dried fruit, raisins, apricots, craisens, figs etc

1 ¼ cup of all sorted nuts and seeds, I have used coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts-use all seeds if nut free

2 tbsp macadamia oil, you can use coconut oil or butter depending on the intolerance

1 egg

Method

Preheat oven to 180C

Line a 20 x 20cm baking tin with baking paper, leaving some overhanging so you can lift it out.

In a food processor blitz everything, except the egg until it is mostly all fine. Add your egg a do a couple of pulses until combined.

Press into your tin and bake for 8-10 minutes, should be a little firm.

Leave for 5 minutes and lift out of the tin and cut in half, then cut each half into 5 so you have 10 fingers.

As an option (when the bars have cooled) you can drizzle chocolate over. This is 40g chocolate, melted then put in a little glad snap lock plastic bag (you can use a piping bag as well) snip a tiny piece off the corner then drizzle over the chocolate.
