Do you know an Uncle Toby’s Forest Fruits Muesli bar contains 27 ingredients, including 5 different types of sugars! Not to mention the additives and preservatives. Needless to say, the packaged muesli bar was one of the first snack foods to be phased out.
This Oat Muesli Slice was the first snack replacement recipe I introduced to my kids. They both love it. I love it because it’s so simple – even my 8yo can make it. I now make it using even healthier alternatives for some ingredients, but this recipe has been adapted from Fed Up and is a great introduction to phasing out packaged muesli bars. Check Fed Up for great additive and preservative free recipes.
