Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) bag muesli of choice
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Optional Chocolate Coating
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the muesli mixture: In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, combine the muesli, melted coconut oil, honey or pure maple syrup, and kosher salt. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined and the muesli is broken down into fine pieces to help the bars stick together.
- Chill the mixture: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the processed muesli mixture into the pan, pressing down firmly to create an even and compact layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or in the freezer for 20 minutes to allow the bars to set properly.
- Slice the bars: Once chilled and firm, remove the muesli block from the pan using the parchment paper. With a sharp knife, slice it into 8-10 larger bars or 16-18 smaller bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
- Add optional chocolate coating: To create the chocolate drizzle, combine the dark chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of melted coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the sliced bars and optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow the chocolate to set slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
Notes
- Choose your favorite muesli blend, preferably one without added sugars for a healthier option.
- The bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
- Use maple syrup as a vegan alternative to honey.
- For extra texture, add nuts or dried fruit to the muesli before processing.
- If you prefer a nut-free option, ensure your muesli does not contain nuts.
