Gluten, Grain and Refined Sugar Free Muesli Bars
Even though oats can be gluten free I find that they can still be quite irritating on the digestive system so I wanted to create a muesli bar recipe that didn’t use them.
These are the perfect bars to pop in your bag for a wholesome, protein filled snack without any of the nasties that traditional muesli bars have in them.
Ingredients

- 1 cup desiccated coconut

- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or sweetener of choice- you could even reduce the sweetener a little if you prefer.
- 1/4 cup sultanas
- 3 medjool dates, pitted and chopped roughly
Method
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees
- Line a square 8x8inch tray with baking paper

- Place into the oven and bake for approx 45 minutes until golden brown. I like mine really golden and crunchy so baked them a little longer
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes in the tray then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container once cool.
