Muesli slice

This recipe turns a basic muesli  into an easy slice. Yes it's sweet but you only have a small square which I guarantee you'll find hits the spot. Plus you get a nice mix of seeds, nuts and oats which can be hard work! If you like something sweet between meals, this is a lot healthier than sweet biscuits or chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups untoasted muesli
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 125g salt-free butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 3cm deep 16cm x 26cm (base) lamington pan. Combine muesli, flour, dried fruit and sugar in a bowl.

2. Place butter and honey into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until butter is melted. Cool for 5 minutes. Add butter mixture and eggs to muesli mixture. Stir until well combined.

3. Spread mixture into prepared lamington pan, pressing down to pack it in. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.  Check so it doesn't burn around the edges. Allow to cool 10 minutes in pan.

4. Cut into 16 squares and store in a container in the refrigerator. Keeps well for 1 week.
