Sugar free muesli bars

So, we've given up refined sugar again... this time for the entirety of Lent! Hopefully we won't go over the top when we can eat it at Easter again, all the chocolates in the shops are already tempting me....

Anyway, so we wanted a nice snack to keep us going in the afternoons and I found this recipe in the "Superimmunity for Kids" book (can you tell I'm working my way through all the nice recipes!). It's not too sweet but is really good and much better for you than the shop brought ones. An easy to remember recipe too when you use the American quantities.

Muesli Bars
Ingredients
3 cups Muesli (sugar, salt and milk powder free)
3 Eggs
3 tbsp Apple juice concentrate
3 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 to 1 cup Raisins/Sultanas (depending on how many your muesli already has)

Recipe
1. Mix the eggs, apple juice concentrate and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. Add the muesli and raisins and stir well.
3. Leave to infuse for ten to fifteen mins.
4. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4 (350 degs F/ 180 degs C)
5. Grease a large tin (9" square) and and add the mixture.
6. Bake for 25 mins or until set and lightly brown.
7. Cut into squares whilst still warm.
