Submitted by auntchelle

"I've been making these for years as I find most commercial bars too dry for me. These make a soft, low-fat bar. Store in an air-tight container. (Australian measurements used.)"

These were great. I added cranberries instead of apricots and used a bit of cinnamon (I love cinnamon!).

These are fantastic and keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

These are REALLY good! I used large flake oats and dried cranberries (instead of raisins). I will make these again and again. Thanks for posting!

This was nice, not sure I did everything right the egg seemed to glue it all together a bit too much! But good recipe too have in the repetoire, commercial muesli bars can get quite expensive. Thanks

I tried this last week and we thought they were good and a great healthy and easy to grab on the run snack. Also easy to throw together. I think personally I may prefer different juice/fruit combos. I think I'll try these again using dried cranberries.
