This does look fantastic only I’m trying to cut down on sugar and half a cup is a lot. Perhaps I could replace it with Stevia? I’ll have to do some experimenting. Thanks.

Our family love muesli bars but homemade is always best as you can control what amount of sugar etc is going in them. These are perfect as it’s also ingredients I generally have in the house. Will certainly make them!

Thank you for this. Thinking maybe mixed fruits could be used as lots left over from Christmas.
