If you are anything like me, snacking is important. I hate the thought of only eating three big meals a day and fortunately there is nothing that says I have to do anything of the sort. The problem is having enough different kinds of snacks to stay healthy and keep things interesting. Muesli bars are such an easy solution, however the ones from the supermarket are so often packed with sugar. I have recently taken to making my own and I think that this recipe is an absolute cracker. It is so easier to mix the ingredients  up – swap the dried apricot for another kind of fruit for example, so just do whatever you like to keep things interesting and yum!

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. If they don’t stick together, try adding a bit of coconut oil.
3. Tip into lined tin and press down firmly.
