Servings: 10 bars
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil or butter (100g)
- ½ cup rice malt syrup or honey
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup Spark Dust or another cacao infusion of your choice
- ½ tsp vanilla bean powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups rolled oats raw
- ½ cup sesame seeds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup sultanas
- ⅓ cup gluten free flour (40g)
- 2 cups puffed grains – rice or quinoa or amaranth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper. This is optional, but it helps with getting the finished muesli bars out in the end. We used a 28cm x 20cm baking tin.
- Combine the rice syrup, coconut sugar and coconut oil in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Cook, while constantly stirring, for 5 minutes or until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to the boil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
- Combine the oats, sultanas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, Spark DUST, vanilla extract, salt, flour and puffed grains in a large bowl. Mix everything together, then pour over the hot syrup and stir thoroughly to combine well.
- Spoon the muesli bar mix into the pan and press down firmly.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside in the pan to cool completely. This may take a couple of hours.
- Once they are completely cooled down and hardened, cut them into rectangles (5cm x 9cm) to serve.

Organic Merchant produces an award winning, certified organic tea and cacao infusion range created by Chalimah Jeanne, a Sydney naturopath and herbalist. The business was a natural extension of Chalimah’s naturopathic work, where she’d blend teas for clinic patients who were particularly low in vital energy. Realising that everyone kept coming back for more, she launched her business at the local market with 12 loose leaf teas in 2011 and inevitably became popular. The minimally processed loose leaf teas and cacao infusions are available in reusable
glass jars and recyclable boxes, sealed in biodegradable cello-bags.
Looks great! Is there an alternative to rolled oats for coeliacs (that can’t have gf oats)?
Sometimes puffed grains, quinoa flakes or buckwheat kernels can be substituted in recipes. But it would need to be experimented with. Good luck! 🙂
