I’ve been making these for the grand-kids lunches for a couple of years, as they love them! It’s great that they can be frozen too. A couple of changes I make is to sometimes use sunflower seeds instead of the sesame seeds, reduce the sultanas and cranberries and add some shredded coconut. I sometimes ice them too! They are worth every cent that I will donate to your great FB page Leonie 😁
thermofun says
awwwwww thank you so much Karen for your donation. So pleased your grand-kids love them! I like your changes too, so I will definitely try those for a change! Thank you again! xox
Jean says
I've just made these for the mob and they are very popular. Thanks Leonie.
thermofun says
Great to hear Jean - thank you! :)
trish says
really enjoyed these - lovely recipe, very handy for school lunches especially as it's nut-free. thanks!
thermofun says
My pleasure Trish and nut free can make it difficult to do a nice muesli bar :D
Debc says
So easy and yum! I also swapped in the chia seeds and apricot for pepitas and canberry!
thermofun says
Oh that sounds great Debc - Will have to add that to my list of must tries :D
Tracy says
Finally got around to commenting here! This has become my 'go to' slice. As a breastfeeding mumma I was looking for something healthier than chocolate to snack on, as I'm always so hungry these days. Made these into lactation muesli bars by adding a tablespoon of Brewers' yeast (strong flavour so don't use unless you can stomach it!) and replaced the sesame seeds with linseeds (flax seeds). Combined with the oats, they make great galactagogues!
thermofun says
Thanks Tracy - great to hear of your changes. Enjoy your baby! :)
Jodie says
Love this recipe... I have just made it with nuttalex.. So dairy free! Also chia seeds instead of sesame seeds as I had run out. Can you freeze this?? I want to use is for school lunches. Thanks , Jodie
thermofun says
Yes I'm sure it would freeze well Jodie. :)
Jodie says
Thanks! It is cooling now! I have also used dried stevia from my garden, instead of sugar, so I am interested to see how it tastes!
Elisbeth says
Most interested in the dried Stevia, Can you tell us about it please?
Karen Hughes says
actually that's Crio Bru, not Crui Bru!
Karen Hughes says
I made these a while ago exactly to the recipe and they were well received by all. I made them on the weekend again and I inadvertently changed a few things:
I didn't have quite enough honey, about 30g so added the last 10g as molasses.
I used about 40g of rapadura sugar as I'd run out of brown sugar
Didn't have any pepitas left, so thought I'd add raw cacao nibs with some sunflower seeds, but added about 20g of Crui Bru in the TM before I realized what it was! I then added the cacao nibs!
I added 1tbls of sesame seeds and 1tbls of linseeds - this was meant to be the only change!
However, they are delicious and I'm glad I wrote down what I changed otherwise I wouldn't remember what I'd done!
Thanks Leonie!
Christine says
Tastes great! I put some choc drops on top for the kids
thermofun says
Great idea with the choc drops Christine! :)
Jenene says
Have made a million muesli bar slices in the quest for one that sticks together and acts like a muesli bar - this one does Hooray!! Yum and a great base for swapping in other ingredients, thanks Thermofun.
thermofun says
hey that's great to hear Jenene! Let me know what ingredients swap you end up doing too and how it goes! :)
Tara says
Just made this now. Replaced sesame seeds with chai seeds. Eating it still hot from the oven. It's yum! Will be great for the kids lunches.
thermofun says
Oh still hot from the oven! nom nom nom!!! :)
