Muesli Bars

I would call these 'Energy Bars' more than just muesli bars. This is also from hummingbird bakery. They are delicious and packed with energy. I wrapped them individually in saran wrap and we took them into the yurt last weekend. They are perfect as a snack. They are packed with nuts, dried fruit, and cereal. You can also substitute your favorite ingredients.


2 Sticks plus 6 T butter (this is why they are so good!)
1 c light corn syrup
1 c packed light brown sugar
2 c rolled oats
1 1/3 c dried coconut
3/4 c dried apricots, finely chopped
1/3 c dried dates, chopped
1 1/4 c corn flakes
3/4 c sunflower seeds (i used pumpkin seeds)
1/2 c dried cranberries
3/4 c walnuts, chopped
3/4 c raisens


Line a 13x9 pan with parchment paper.

Put butter, corn syrup, and sugar in a large sauce pan over medium heat and heat until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.

Put oats, coconut, apricots, dates, cornflakes, sunflower seeds, cranberries, walnuts, raisens in a large bowl and stir until combined. Pour in the butter mixture and mix thoroughly until everything is well mixed and the dry ingredients are evenly dispersed.

Press this mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a tablespoon to flatten and compress it. cover with a sheet of parchment paper, then a tray covered in jam jars or cans to apply pressure on the cake and compress it. let cool, then refrigerate overnight.
