Muesli Bars

Snacks are always good! I personally never survive without them, whether it is between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. I always need something to keep me going between the main meals. If you go to the supermarket you will find loads of different muesli bars and although many of them don’t contain milk products most of them do contain honey. That’s why making them yourself is definitely worth a try!

I don’t know how it is with you guys but if I don’t snack I tend to overeat myself at lunch or dinner. In general I’m very bad at stopping when I’m full. Just as an example: I would cook dinner and make an extra big portion so I’d have something to eat the next day but instead of keeping food for lunch the next day I’d eat the whole portion no matter how big it is haha. I don’t care about the calories, I honestly don’t do, it’s more about the principle. But I’m working on it and I will learn to stop when I’m full sometime!

Now back to the muesli bars. I used a muesli mixture consisting of oats, barley flakes, rye flakes, sunflower seeds, spelt flakes, linseeds, sesame, puffed amaranth and pumpkin seeds. You could either buy a mixture or mix it yourself, whatever is best for you.

Of course not everyone likes raisins that much so feel free to substitute them with chopped up dates, dried apricots or cranberries. The bars are super easy to make and taste delicious. When my brother was here to visit me he ate almost all of them 🙂
