The best part about these muesli breakfast bars is that almost every ingredient can be substituted with something you already have in your pantry. Use peanut butter in place of almond butter, cranberries instead of raisins, almonds instead of walnuts—bottom line, make them your own.
If you don't already have the protein powder, it's easiest to just pick up a single serving packet at your local health food store. For these I used Perfect Fit's Organic Brown Rice Protein Powder. Entirely vegan, 100% natural, soy-free and sugar-free.
Muesli Breakfast Bars
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 25 mins
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 24 bars 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup vegan protein powder
- ½ cup oat bran
- ½ cup walnuts
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 cup agave nectar
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper. If you don't have either, you can just lightly oil the pan with any vegetable oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, flaxseed, protein powder, wheat germ, chia seeds, walnuts and raisins.
- In a small sauce pan, heat agave nectar, almond butter and olive oil over medium-low heat until warm and well combined. Add to the dry ingredients and mix together working quickly.
- Turn the mixture out into your baking pan. With lightly oiled hands or the bottom of a measuring cup, pat the mixture down evenly. Bake until the edges are lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. After they're cool, cut into 24 bars and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Muesli is my new obsession for breakfast. I found your bars after searching for how to make homemade Muesli. I think I may switch out the raisins for craisins or chopped dried apricots though. Love this alternative spin on Muesli.

@L. Walker - I am also presently obsessed with the muesli. I recently ordered the Familia Swiss variety to taste-test against the Bob's Red Mill. Should be fun! I'll report back.
