Chewy Peanut Butter Muesli Bars

Muesli bars are generally considered  a healthy option when it comes to snack foods, but in reality most store bought bars are full of refined sugars and preservatives! These babies taste super indulgent, without any highly processed ingredients.

These are super versatile, you could swap up the nuts or even try oats instead of puffed rice. As is though they are already gluten free, vegan, dairy free and refined sugar free! Doesn’t get much better then that!

They are healthy enough to go in your kids lunch box, but indulgent enough to be served as a slice when people are over. I know they wont last long once my partner gets into them!
