Having been caught out a few times when my girls had requested a mid-morning snack – ‘but not fruit, Daaaaaad’ – I knew it was time to hit them up with my style of muesli bar. This isn’t an ordinary bar: it’s a circle. Why? Because I wanted another use for my muffin trays. I think it’s genius.

TIPS
These muesli circles will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the pantry.

Gluten free
Use gluten-free oats.

Vego/vegan
Vegans can sub in maple or rice malt syrup for the honey.

Divide the muesli mix between the six greased muffin holes and use a spoon or the base of a cup to push the mixture down so it’s packed nice and tight.

Whack the tray in the oven and cook for around 25 minutes, until golden brown. If using an air fryer, cook at 180°C for 15 minutes.

Let the muesli circles cool a little before taking them out of the tray. I pop three in each lunchbox.
