Honey and Coconut Muesli Slice

On a usual Saturday morning we are up early for swimming lessons and squad training. This means the miniature athletes in my family need a filling breakfast. I can do that.


Home from swimming and, of course, it's time for their second breakfast. Swimming does that to you.


I foresee what's going to happen next ... Give it an hour or two and they will be hungry again. This is where my endless hours of baking snacks for the kids come in. This morning I've done a favourite of theirs ... Muesli slice.  Kind of like the muesli bars you buy at the shops .. only cheaper and .. well I made them. Give them a go for your hungry miniature athletes .. or yourself cos they are pretty yummy!

Honey & Coconut Muesli Slice  

                                                                               

2 1/2 cups rolled oats                                           

1 cup rice bubbles / rice puffs

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1 tbspn honey

1 tin (395g / 14oz ) sweetened

condensed milk

What you have to do with it ...


1. Preheat oven to 160C / 325F. Grease 23x32cm ( 9" x 13" ) Swiss roll pan, line base with baking paper, letting the paper hang over the long sides.


2. Combine oats, rice bubbles, coconut, nuts, honey and condensed milk in a large bowl. Press mixture firmly into the pan.


3. Bake about 40 minutes or until browned lightly. Cool slice in the pan before cutting.


4. Optional ..I drizzle some melted chocolate creatively over the top after it has cooled and before slicing!


Enjoy!
