Kelsey’s Muesli Granola Bars
My friend and fellow nutrition classmate Kelsey took the basic Baked Oatmeal Snack Bar recipe and kicked it up a notch with a bunch of nutty mix-ins. These are the best homemade granola bars I’ve ever had – very authentic!
Combine all ingredients in a big bowl. Line a pan(s) with parchment and spread batter into pan. Bake at 375* for around 30 minutes.
NOTE: Kesley reports she used an 8×8 pan and a 4×6 pan together and the batter was about half an inch thick. When going into the oven, the mix will be watery and should firm up.
Makes about 10 2×2 bars. Each bar is roughly 160 calories, 7 grams fat, 3.2 grams fiber, and 5.4 grams protein.

In the ingredients, I don’t understand the 1/2 cup muesli; I thought muesli was a yogurt dish? Do you mean just a 1/4c of dried fruits and seeds? Thanks!
Also, could I leave out the ground flax without any adverse affects to the baking? And if I don’t have 4 dried peaches, can I just leave it out or must I substitute it with something- in that case. what volume of substitute dried fruit?
Thank you Kath!

Muesli is generally plain dry rolled oats pre-mixed with dried fruit and nuts.
You can play around with the recipe however you want. The only important parts are the volume of oats, milk and egg and I wouldn’t change the volume of mix-ins drastically too much or too little.

what’s the texture of these? like the baked oat bars or more crunchy/chewy like a real granola bar?
(also. 1/4 what of flax? Tbsp?)
Awesome recipe! I’ve always been a little intimidated at making my own granola bars but I think I may hafta try these ones.
So it’s 1.5 cups rolled oats plus the oats in the muesli mix?
Becki ,
Yes
Hello! Could I substitute the brown sugar with honey?
Also wondered if you could use a different kind of sugar.. Honey or Agave?
Thanks!
YUM. That’s all I have to say
These are absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing:)
i made these, tasted great. but they’re a little mush/soggy at the bottom. anyone knows why?
Just curious how long these would stay good in the fridge for? Just made a batch and they are great!!
I’d keep them on the counter for about 5 days
I added some chop chips to this recipe so my sister and friends would like them more, and added more coconut than asked for, they turned out great love them.. addicted (:
meant choc chips
Ive been looking for a cereal bar recipe for a while without too much sugars and added fats, just tried this one and its great. Cross between a cake and a cereal bar (not crunchy) but very filling and simple to make. Perfect to put in your pocket for a healthy filling snack on the go. Thanks
