No Muesli Bars

This recipe is certainly a winner when it comes to snacks. It’s loaded with real ingredients and no nasty additives or sugar. It’s super handy to put in the kids lunch boxes if you omit the nuts as many more schools are banning nuts due to extreme allergies. 

Feel free to add in any additional bits and bobs too like some Cacao nibs or Goji berries, however, I always find simple is better. Sub out the almonds for sesame seeds if you are in contact regularly with those who suffer from nut allergies.
