Banana Muesli Breakfast Bars

These were something I recently created by fluke. Turned out everyone in the house loved them so I got a bit more creative with them. These are like a biscuit bar, just a little softer due to the banana.

These are perfect for a breakfast on the go bar or as a lunchbox snack. Just be mindful of nuts though if these are going to school.

These make great biscuits (will make about 48 small biccies) or into 12-18 bars depending on what size you make them. The older kiddies and partner prefer the biscuit version but the baby likes the bar that he can hold on (hang on, he is 16 months old now. I should probably stop staying baby?!)

My granola/muesli recipes that can be used in this recipe (as you can see, we love granola/muesli!):

• Apple Cinnamon Granola  
• Apricot and Coconut Granola
• Fruit and Nut Granola
• Honey Nut Granola
• Maple Cinnamon Granola
• Strawberry Apple Granola
• Caramalised Buckini Granola

I use Vanilla Queens Vanilla Powder in this recipe. This is much more cost effective than vanilla beans or vanilla bean paste.
