Ingredients

1⅓ cups (125g) rolled oats
⅓ cup (45g) oat bran
⅓ cup (50g) plain flour
⅔ cup (90g) dried apricot halves, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup (40g) coarsely chopped walnuts
2 tbsp wheatgerm, toasted
⅓ cup (80ml) apple juice concentrate
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla essence

Preparation method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 28 x 18cm baking tin with foil, leaving a good overhang. Coat with cooking spray.

2. Place the oats and oat bran in a baking tray and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the oats are lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the flour, apricots, walnuts and wheatgerm.

3. Combine the apple juice concentrate, brown sugar and honey in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat until the brown sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla essence. Pour the syrup over the oat mixture, stirring to coat.

4. Spoon the oat mixture into the foil-lined baking tin. With moistened hands, press the mixture into an even layer. Bake for about 20 minutes or until firm. Using the foil overhang, carefully lift out the muesli cake and cool on a wire rack. When cool, cut into 12 bars.
