This morning I am heading into town to do a little shopping. My list looks something like this:

• Wedding present
• Christening present
• Farewell present
• A new top

Hmmm …how did that last one sneak in there?? I decided to take one of my homemade muesli bars with me – for a mid morning snack… I have seen these homemade bars on other blogs for ages now and was excited to give them a try! I decided to use this recipe I found at KERF as a base, but exchanged a few ingredients to make the bars wheat free. Basically I replaced the muesli with GF Muesli, added a handful of pepitas and also substituted the dried peaches with dried mixed berries. These bars were super easy to make. It really was just a matter of measuring out the dry ingredients… Mixing them together with some milk and an egg… Then press into a pan and bake for 30 minutes or so…   Then cut and serve. I was surprised at how ‘light’ these bars turned out. I expected them to have more of a crunch, but they are quite soft and almost cake-like….                         The dried fruit provides a perfect level of sweetness, while the pepitas and the other grains in the muesli add a bit of crunch. Even Mr BBB enjoyed these! We both agreed that they would be a perfect lunch box snack for kids (and adults!). Well time to hit the shops! Happy baking 🙂
