These Muesli Bites are delicious and the perfect bite size snack for adults or kiddies. I am absolutely in love with these at the moment and would go as far as to say they are now one of my most favourite recipes. My kiddies adore these.

They are great to have to snack on, to pop into the lunchbox or to take along to your next get together as they are nut and egg free.

I have used Caramaleised Buckinis (click link to be taken to find out more about these and where to purchase) in these as I am slightly addicted to them and they are a great addition to items like these. These are purely optional.You can completely omit these.

You can vary the flavours you use and add extra goodies to the mix such as:

  • Dried sultanas or cranberries
  • Nuts of choice
  • Diced dried apricot and additional coconut
  • Choc chips or cocoa nibs
  • Brewers yeast and linseed meal to make them a great lactation type biscuit
  • Diced dried apple and cinnamon
  • Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top

    There is nothing more to say than AMAZING!!! I can’t believe I made these!!! They’re delicious and so cost effective! Thanks again Peta xx

    So quick & easy to make, what a fabulous recipe! I added macadamia, craisins, pistachios, pepitas & sunflower seeds and drizzled with milk chocolate. And the kids love them! These will become a regular in our house.

    These were a huge hit! I made a couple of variations. I used coconut oil instead of butter and a drizzle of orange juice. I didn’t use any sugar at all as I found the honey sweet enough for me. I was a bit low on rolled oats so made up the quantity by adding psyllium and extra coconut. Thanks for a great treat!

    Hi, are the chia seeds assesntial or could they be replaced with something else?

    • Peta September 3, 2014 at 8:35 pm - Reply

      Not essential at all.

    Hi had anyone ever tried making these with coconut oil instead of butter? If so did they still turn out? Thanks

    • Peta September 3, 2014 at 8:34 pm - Reply

      I find they don’t stick together as well with coconut oil.

    Made the muesli bites with quinoa flakes instead of oats so they were gluten free – yummy! Will be making these regularly. Thanks Peta.

    I added craisins and pistachios, baked it in a large silicon tray, drizzled with white chocolate and cut into 48 pieces. Although could have cut into about 18 squares, save me going back for just one more piece! Fantastic recipe, thanks.

    Hi, would love to try out these muesli bites but I am not able to get buckinis in the UK. Any suggestions please? Thank you

      Just leave out. No need to add anything extra 🙂

    I’ve perfected my sticky date version of these and added it to the Recipe Community. I have added a link to your original recipe, acknowledging that mine are a variant of yours. My recipe is quite different, but I wouldn’t have discovered it without yours.

    PETA, these musli bites are an absolute hit! My health food shy teenagers indulge them and suddenly eat all the ‘bird food’. I took a bit less sugar and butter, added cranberries and linseed and had them in mini muffin tins for 10min. Perfect

    I added dried apricots and dried cranberries; in our house the grownups loved them but not the toddler so much. Cooked them in silicon muffin tins but found they were quite crumbly and softer too, than I imagined despite extra cooking. May have added too much extra stuff without increasing the binding agents.

    • Peta October 14, 2014 at 7:37 pm - Reply

      Yes the extra goodies would have affected it. It would have made it a drier “glue” and therefore crumbly.

    I have to be honest…..I was a bit unsure if I was going to like these but made them anyway just to give it a go…I am so glad I did! They are so delicious!!! I added macadamia nuts in mine and I didnt have enough oats so I added puffed rice to make up for the oats and OMG I love them! Even my husband who said they look to healthy to be yummy, likes them!! Not to mention my kids who want to eat them now and not wait till school lunches. lol Thank You!

    I really enjoyed this recipe. I accidentally got the deluxe buckini which has nuts in it and the kids weren’t keen on the goji berries in the mix. I have now got the normal buckini so will definitely give them another go and send them in kindy lunch box.

    i have made these about 5 times for my family. Successful each time. I just substitute the ingredients with whatever I have on hand using the approximate amounts suggested in the recipe. Soooo tasty! I also made them for a pregnant friend who devoured them!! Thanks for this recipe.

    Peta!! Thank you for this creation.. absolutely delicious!!
    I didn’t have buckinins on hand so put sultanas in instead and the kids love them!

    Hi, thanks for this recipe, it is fantastic! I’ve made them twice now & find they are very crumbly. I did reduce the sugar in the second batch, would that make a difference to the texture?

    Thanks, I love your recipes!

    Deb

    • Peta October 23, 2014 at 10:28 pm - Reply

      Thanks Deb. I find if I reduce the sugar mixture in anyway it affects the final result as it is the “glue”

    Hi Peta

    Thanks for your reply, I will have another go with the required about of sugar. My children love them, so these will become a regular in our house!

    Thanks again for your reply & recipes.

    what took so long for me to make these. some in mini muffin tins, these are soft-centred. my mumsy likes these the best. some in normal sized pans, narrower and crunchy. these are my favourites. seriously peta, everything i make from your recipes is perfect.

    OMG I made these today and they are absolutely awesome, they will definitely be a lunch box regular! Thanks Peta 🙂

    Whole family loves these! do you think these would freeze ok for school snacks?

    • Peta February 5, 2015 at 12:24 pm - Reply

      I dont but others said they have successfully 🙂

    Can i vacuum seal and freeze these? id like to make a big batch for lunches but i don’t want to have to use them within a week?

      Ive never tried sorry! What clever idea though!

  22. The Bush Gourmand March 12, 2015 at 5:57 pm - Reply

    These were delicious! I used a pan loaf muffin pan and put 2 Tbsp of the filling in to make bars. I also added slivered almonds.

    I have typed the recipe (with a slight variation) into the recipe database at sparkepople.com so I could get a nutritional value for it. I’ve credited you and provided the link so others can discover your page.

    LOVE these – They are the best muesli snack I have found. Thanks for the great recipe!

    Simple and delicious. Quite like honey joys but I’m sure a little healthier. Very version recipe to change to whatever is available in your pantry.

    HI There,

    i don’t have any buckinis. Do you think i could use puffed rice??

    Thanks!

  27. Kate March 31, 2016 at 10:11 pm - Reply

    These are so yummy, and very versatile. I didn’t have buckinis, but threw in some craisins. Delish.

  28. Alicia April 13, 2016 at 10:58 pm - Reply

    We all loved these!!! They went so quickly – especially with a teenager in the house. So the next time did a double batch!! Also added linseed and sultanas – good for fibre!!
