Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Zest of one orange
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2/3 cups dried apricots roughly diced
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup diced walnuts
  • 125 g butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 150 g dark chocolate

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees fan bake.
  2. Line a large baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
  3. Place the orange zest and juice into a small microwave safe cup or bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds and then set aside to allow the apricots to soften for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, baking powder and walnuts
  5. Place the butter and sugar into a small saucepan and heat over a low temperature until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  6. Add the egg, melted butter/sugar and the apricot mixture to your dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  7. Spread muesli bar mixture evenly into your prepared baking tray. Cook for 25-30 minutes our until baked through
  8. Allow the slice to cool slightly and then cut into pieces. For bars I like to cut off the 2 short edges then make one long cut down the center lengthwise. Then you can cut evenly into 10-12 bars
  9. Melt your chocolate and drizzle over your cut bars. Allow the chocolate to fully set before storing your bars in a sealed container or wrap individually in cling film.
