sumber: kidspot
Ingredients:

• ½ cup (125mL) honey <-- i add 2tbs of peanut butter
• ¼ cup caster sugar <-- replace with 1/8cup brown sugar 
• 125g butter
• 3 cups rolled oats (see note for GF) <-- use 2cups only
• 1 cup rice bubbles <-- use 2cups of honey stars
• 1 cup sultanas <-- my son kept adding more and more!!
• ½ cup chopped apricots or dates or choc chips <-- i opt for choc chips 
• ½ cup desiccated coconut <-- i use 2tbs only (dont really like it :p)
• ¼ cup pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels), sunflower or sesame seeds <-- use sunflower seeds

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a slice tray with baking paper <-- i use swiss-roll tray
2. Combine honey, sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
3. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
4. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
7. Pour over the hot syrup and stir to combine.
8. Spoon into prepared pan and press firmly to make sure the mixture will stick together.
9. I wet my fingers with a bit of cold water and press the top to get a smooth finish.
10. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
11. Cool and then refrigerate until well chilled and cut into 24 slices (about 2cm x 6cm). <--definitely must be chilled first otherwise you'll get a crumbly muesli instead of a bar..

Notes:

1. To make these muesli bars gluten free, use 2 cups of crushed cornflakes and 2 cups of rice bubbles.
2. The mixture has a total of 1½ cups of dried fruit – use whatever combination you or your kids prefer.
3. You could use half honey, half smooth peanut butter in the ‘syrup’ or add nuts to the mixture

verdict:
