Instructions
- Pre-heat fan-forced oven to 170°C.

- Add dry mix into the syrup and mix to combine evenly.
- Transfer mixture to a lined small brownie tin. Spread mixture evenly, use fingers to press firmly into shape.

- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cut into 6 muesli bar slices.
- Once completely cool store in an airtight glass container to keep fresh.
Notes
- You can replace maple syrup with your preferred natural sweetener such as rice malt syrup or honey.
- Swap 1/2 cup desiccated coconut with 1/4 cup desiccated coconut + 1/4 cup quinoa flakes.
