Easy No-Bake Muesli Bars

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

The easiest on-the-go snack with 6 healthy ingredients, these muesli bars are one to make on repeat. Salty, sweet, dipped in chocolate, just irresistible!

Easy No-Bake Muesli Bars (vegan)

I threw these together on a random snack-craving whim one day, but now that I’m on batch number three in just a couple weeks I decided they must be shared. Chewy, chocolate dipped, made in just 10 minutes with 6 simple ingredients, these Easy No-Bake Muesli Bars are very much fridge staple stuff you will never want to be without.

No-Bake Muesli Bar Ingredients

These bars aren’t fancy – maple syrup or honey to sweeten, nut or seed butter to bind, a little salt, a little vanilla, cinnamon if you’re in the spiced mood – but what makes them fun is the endless variations you can easily make by switching up the variety of muesli you use. Consider it a little granola bar cheat, you don’t have to add your own nuts and seeds and dried fruits because the muesli does that for us.

The dark chocolate coating isn’t a necessity, but it certainly does add an extra delicious treat yo’self component I personally see no reason to skip. You could toss in a handful of chocolate chips instead.

Tips For The Perfect Muesli Bars

  1. Toast the muesli. Not required, but it takes just 10 minutes and really boosts the cozy oat flavor. Spread the muesli on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, stir then 3-5 more minutes until golden and fragrant.
  2. Pick a muesli with lots of mix-ins. My favorite muesli is from Seven Sundays, its full of pumpkin seeds, dried blueberries, dried apples, buckwheat, chia, coconut…so much yummy stuff.
  3. Try using tahini. If you like the flavor of tahini, it pairs so deliciously with the dark chocolate.
  4. Eat them cold, straight from the fridge or even freeze them. Maybe I’m weird, but I love the extra chewy chilly texture.

Quick and easy to make, quicker and easier to polish off the batch. I promise you will want another batch as soon as they’re gone!

Description

The easiest on-the-go snack with 6 healthy ingredients, these muesli bars are one to make on repeat. Salty, sweet, dipped in chocolate, just irresistible!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (185g) nut/seed butter (I love tahini here!)
  • 1/2 cup (160g) maple syrup or honey
  • 2 1/2 cups (300g) of your favorite muesli (this is mine!)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt nut/seed butter with the sweetener in the microwave or stovetop. Whisk until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, pour wet ingredients over the muesli and stir until evenly coated (you can toast the muesli first in the oven for 7-9 minutes at 350 until browned for extra flavor!)
  3. Melt chocolate chips. Pour into the bottom of a 8×8” baking dish lined with parchment paper. Freeze 5-10 minutes until almost hard.
  4. Top with the muesli mixture, pressing in firmly.
  5. Refrigerate minimum 4 hours, then slice.
  6. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.

    Hello Natalie! They seem so delish!
    Question, I never ate müesli and I looked up what it is -exactly- and basically I can use oats+nuts+seeds in you recipe instead of store-bought müesli, is that it?

    Thank you so much <3

    Super happy with this! I am really bad at following quantities in recipes (as in, I don’t actually own measuring cups) but they still turned out awesome.
    I used hemp & cashew butter which I made in the blender and spread the chocolate over the top of the bar slab instead of underneath, then sprinkled coconut on that.

    Perfect. I used honey roast peanuts and blitzed them into butter then used supermarket saver versions of honey and muesli with added saver sultanas and instead of chocolate I crushed 30g of wholewheat chocolate hoops cereal into the mix. Not sure the vanilla did anything but I also added a tspn of Valencia orange extract. Basically cheapest of the cheap but it still came out unbelievably fantastic. The orange made a huge difference. It’s an infinitely customisable recipe and it will work for those on a tiny budget. Thanks!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

-Pinch of salt

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten.

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
