No naughty muesli bars with yoghurt and banana




Another week another experiment in the kitchen. This time I've tried to take the muesli bar and make it easy to make at home and way more worth doing so than buying a pack of six from the supermarket that have probably got a heap of ingredients you don't want in them if you're trying to be healthy.

These muesli bars and easy to make, super yummy and with no added naughty. 

For the muesli bars:

2tbsp honey
2tbsp organic crunchy peanut butter
1tbsp coconut oil
2 cups of organic muesli 

Heat the honey, peanut butter and coconut oil in a pan until it's all melted. 
Once it's melted add the muesli slowly ensuring the mixture is really sticky. 
Once you've combined the mixture pour it into a baking tray, even it out and bake at 180C/356F/Gas Mark 4 for 15-20 minutes or until the top looks golden and crunchy. 
Allow to cool.

For the banana topping:

1 banana

Chop the banana into thin slices.
Prepare a baking tray with baking paper. 
Arrange the slices on the baking tray  and put under the grill at 180C/356F/Gas Mark 4 for about 10 minutes. You want them to go crispy and golden but not burned. 
Allow the banana chips to cool before removing from the paper. 

Once the muesli is cool top half with the bananas and half with a drizzle of yoghurt. I used a low fat greek yoghurt. Greek yoghurt is full or protein so is a great addition here. 
Cut it into slices, I got 12 out of mine but you can make them bigger or smaller to your fancy. 
Put the slices in the freezer for about half an hour for the yoghurt to set and the slices to firm up.

And lastly enjoy.

I hope you like this recipe. I'm making these again today for some morning tea. You can also freeze these if you want to make them ahead of time for something. If you use this recipe let me know how it goes and make sure to send me a photo of them.

Until next time,
