Muesli bars

Just about anything can go in this, just need the oats and enough binding stuff like honey, egg etc to keep it all together

2 cups oats
1 cup dried fruit – sultanas, craisins, blueberries etc
¼ cup seeds – sunflower, pumpkin, chia etc
1/2-1 cup nuts – any kind will work
1/2 cup honey
1 egg
¼ cup flour – or hazelnut or almond meal
1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, mixed spice, nutmeg (not all necessary, just adds a nice fruity flavour)

Mix it all in a big bowl. Add more honey or oats depending on the consistency. You want it to be pretty chunk, not liquidy at all.
I prefer to make these in patty tins, so that I don’t have to slice them into bars and create more mess. It also means I’m less likely to eat more than one.
If you don’t have patty tins, spray a big baking tin with oil and line with baking paper and just put it all in there, flattening it down firmly.
Bake in a 180C oven for about 15 minutes, just to get it all stuck together.
Eat when they’re cold.
Done!
