These delicious homemade Chewy Chocolate Chip Muesli Bars are a perfect alternative to store bought muesli bars, and come together with just a few simple pantry ingredients.
These super tasty Chewy Chocolate Chip Muesli Bars are an easy to make snacks that everyone will enjoy. In addition to being more delicious and environmentally friendly than store bought muesli bars, these homemade treats also freeze well, meaning you can batch bake a few so you always have some on hand for school lunches.
When you’re baking them, just make sure you keep your eye on the oven as you don’t want to burn the choc chips like I did with some of these (oops!).
Whilst these homemade muesli bars can be frozen, I find my kids eat them so quickly, I barely have any left to freeze! Luckily though, there are only a few common pantry ingredients in these Chewy Chocolate Chip Muesli Bars, so it’s not hard to whip up some more.
