Ingredients
24 portion(s)
- 100 g Butter, cut into cubes
- 80 g honey
- 90 g brown sugar
- 80 g pitted dates
- 200 g rolled oats
- 20 g Poppyseeds
- 30 g white chia seeds
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- pinch salt flakes
Recipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 140 degrees/Gas Mark 2.
Place the butter, honey and brown sugar in the TM bowl and melt for 6 minutes/Varoma/speed 2 to form a light, sticky caramel.
Add the dates and chop for 4 seconds/speed 5. Add the rolled oats, poppyseeds, white chia seeds, cinnamon and salt flakes. Mix for 10 seconds/speed 3.
Line a baking tray of about 20cm x 25cm with baking paper, and press in the mixture. It’s sticky so I use another sheet of baking paper on top to smooth it out.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. The slice will be soft when you remove it from the oven but will set as it cools. Slice into squares and store in an airtight container.

Tip
There’s lots to like about these snack bars. They’re easy, adaptable (use other seeds or fruit) and free from nuts, making them lunch-box friendly. They’re extra delicious because the sugar, honey and butter are slightly caramelised.
Don’t save this one for the kids!

Oh. My. God. These muesli bars are AMAZING!!!! They taste sooooooo good!!! Adult & kid approved 👌 😁 ... I did add nuts because that's what we like at home. I'm sooo excited Ive found a new family favourite which I'll be making on the regular for a healthy snack! 😍
After reading the comments I decided to halve the sugar and honey which turned out perfect and I do have a sweet tooth. I lowered the oats because I added nuts, cranberries and desiccated coconut.

Very nice and versatile. Mine came out very crumbly, not sure why.will make regularly.
The recipe has to be doubled if you want to fill a swiss roll sized oven pan
Delicious snack! I adjusted
Delicious snack!
I adjusted the recipe like most people removing the sugar. I also changed the butter to coconut oil and changed the honey to maple syrup on one occasion and agave on another; both delicious.
I also added a handful of dried cranberries. Yum!

Delicious and healthy, thanks for this recipe! After reading the other comments, I omitted the sugar, swapped golden syrup (40g) for honey, also added sesame and chia seeds instead of the poppy, a hit with everyone and definitely didn't need the sugar.
Big hit! So easy. Will b a
Big hit! So easy. Will b a regular in the house.
Made these yesterday, omitted
Made these yesterday, omitted the sugar completely and added 40g honey. Used 20g of sesame seeds and 30g black chia. Turned out well, although a little crumbly (although I am guessing this is why you would need all the honey to bind). Nice flavour! Have yet to test on the kids!
Far too sweet - even with
Far too sweet - even with half the sugar!
Planning on trying these again, but omitting the sugar entirely and halving the honey. The combination of dates, sugar and honey is simply too much.
Yum

I added less sugar as mentioned by other and replaced the dates with prune as this was all I had in the larder - they were fabulous. The crunch of the poopy seeds is very moorish! Thanks for sharing

My guest has dairy allergies,
My guest has dairy allergies, so I subbed the butter with red apple and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. I also reduced the sugar by half and used golden syrup because I didn't have honey. I replaced the dates with sultanas. This was super yummy but I will definitely drop the sugar altogether if I decide to use apple and sultanas again. Was really nice. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't have any honey, so
I didn't have any honey, so subbed in golden syrup and reduced the sugar. Only had black chia seeds and white seasme seeds too. A hit. Much crunchier when stored in the fridge.
These are great! I reduced
These are great! I reduced the sugar, butter and honey amounts and they still were fine. Might omit the sugar altogether next time after reading previous comments.
I also added sultanas, cranberries and shredded coconut instead of all dates.
Will definitely make again!
Yum! Like others, I might add
Yum! Like others, I might add less sugar next time but these should definitely pass the 2-year-old test!
These are great! My kids love
These are great! My kids love them. I eliminate the brown sugar all together and they are still sweet enough. I think I could reduce the honey a bit too without anyone noticing......

Made these last night. They were very tasty although more chewy than crunchy. Might try cooking for longer next time to see if that helps.

Deliciou. I also reduced the sugar to 50 and honey to 45, this was just a nice level of sweetness for us. I didn't have poppyseed so added sesame instead. These are a winner here and my DD9 says these are a keeper. Thanks for sharing

Yummy - kids loved them! I used coconut oil in place of butter, used less sugar, sesame seeds instead of poppy seeds, added some puffed rice and a combination of dates and sultanas. Will be making these regularly
Great basic recipe that is
Great basic recipe that is easy to just use what is in the cupboard. I use 50g coconut oil in place of butter, 45g coconut suger instead of brown. Next time I will use less honey as it still came out very sweet. I used dried cherries, sultana's and apricots, sunflower kernels and some shredded coconut. This recipe will now be my basic museli bar with using whatever is in the cupboard. Thanks heaps !

Yum! Had to stop myself from
Yum! Had to stop myself from eating the uncooked mix. I put slightly less honey and brown sugar as per the comments above. Instead of dates I used cranberries, apricots, almonds and shredded coconut. Great sort of healthy snack and I am not a fan of shop bought muesli bars. Thanks for the recipe, these are a keeper.
