These easy Muesli Breakfast Bars are an unbelievably delicious way to grab-and-go on busy mornings! @tasteLUVnourish

Muesli Breakfast Bars

We’ve had some big changes in my house this summer! After months and months of renovations, we finally moved my Mom up from Florida to live with us! It’s been really heartwarming to see her so happy. She’d been living alone for much too long. Although cooking and baking just came so naturally to her, my Mom’s health issues made it difficult for her to do those things alone. Grabbing a biscotti with her cup of coffee became her routine. I can’t argue that biscotti is amazing with a cup of coffee, but I wanted her to have something more filling and nutritious to start her day.

Muesli is one of my favorite morning mixes! I love it simply made the night before with some fresh summer fruit and some almond milk, but baking with muesli is genius! With its mix of sunflower seeds, raisins, dates, almonds, walnuts and grains…it becomes a perfect blend of sweetness and crunch. I love Bob’s Red Mill’s Old Country Style Muesli.

We’ve played around with this recipe a bit this summer and have added some chopped peaches, apricots and even blueberries. This base is wonderful on its own, but feel free to adapt it with your favorite seasonal fruit!

I’m really excited for what’s ahead for the blog! My Mom has always been my inspiration and is the reason why I love to cook. With her beside me in the kitchen, you can expect a lot more variety and maybe even a glimpse of us cooking together.

    Hello!

    Do you think I could switch the wheat flour with coconut flour and if so would t be the same amount?

      Hi Melyssa! Great question, but I’m not sure about the answer. Coconut flour doesn’t substitute 1:1 with wheat flour. You’d probably be ok with subbing 3 tablespoons of coconut flour for the 2/3 cup of whole wheat flour. Coconut flour can require a bit more moisture as well, so you may need to add another egg. I can’t guarantee your results with those tips, but I’d love to hear your results if you do give it a try!
