Homemade muesli bars are so much healthier than store-bought, plus they are easy to make and tastier too!
Full of yummy ingredients, but essentially very healthy, this is another great breakfast idea to have on hand for a morning that is so busy, you just don't get the time to prepare anything specific. Change them up by adding some cacao nibs, different nuts or seeds and use pre-melted honey in place of the maple syrup if that is what you have on hand.

Delicious when drizzled with a little melted chocolate, dark, milk or white. Another option is to break up the bars and serve as a granola type topping on stewed fruit, yoghurt or porridge.
If you really want to go 'raw' leave the almonds untoasted or 'activate' and dehydrate them first. Of course you can use homemade raw chocolate to drizzle if desired.
