"Keep it Simple, Sweetie" with Cooking; Nut-free muesli bars

 Hand made muesli bars are so good because you really do know what you are putting in them. This one can also go to school because it is nut-free unlike a lot of the bought ones that may contain nuts.

Ingredients;

130g mixed dried fruits

20g crystallised ginger

60ml apple juice

155g quick oats

15g rice bubbles

1 tsp lemon zest

60ml apple juice

1 tsp lemon zest

120ml honey

Method;

Finely chop the fruit. (I used my mini processes for this but you could just cut them)

 Cut up the ginger.

 Pour the juice over the fruit and ginger and set aside for 5 minutes.

 Place oats in a bowl

Add the rice bubbles

 Add the lemon zest. Stir until combined.

Place the honey in a small saucepan and bring to the boil on medium heat.

 Reduce heat and simmer 1-2 minutes until syrup has thickened.

Add the fruit to the syrup.

Simmer for a further 3-4 minutes

Add the fruit to the dry ingredients.

 Stir until combined.

 Spoon the mix into a slice tray.

Press down with a spoon.

 Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
