Muesli Bar Slice

This recipe came about as I had a request for a lunck box muesli bars. The request was egg, dried fruit, nut, dairy, gluten and wheat free which I'm still working on. But this one is still dairy, sugar and nut free and so easy. I was always lead to believe that oats contained gluten but they do not. You just need to buy your oats that state gluten free. Freedom foods which are readily available from the supermarket, claim that their oats are gluten free as they and are not processed on the same equipment as wheat, barley and rye. Product that do not state gluten free may have traces of gluten and are not appropiate for celiac sufferes.

I think this is one of my easiest recipes yet. All you need in a whisk and a bowl. This recipe freezes and will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Enjoy!!!
