Fruit Crumble Muesli Bar

February 6, 2017 | After School Snacks, Baked Sweets, Healthy Lunchbox

Fruit crumble muesli bar - This delicious Fruit Crumble Muesli Bar is great for school lunches & can be frozen for a hassle free snack. It is nut-free, gluten, dairy-free options.

I love to make this slice if I need to use up over ripe fruit. I’m not a fan of using dried fruit (like dates/sultanas etc) in baking as I find it gives me a big sugar rush (followed by brain fog and energy slump) and I’ve also noticed my kids desire for sugar increases if they eat dried fruit. So I prefer to use fresh fruit in my baking and this Fruit Crumble Muesli Bar is one of my families favourite whole food treats.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many specific dietary requirements.

Nut and dried fruit-free, this Fruit Crumble Muesli Bar is a delicious, nourishing edition to any lunchbox. It freezes well also, so it's great to batch-bake.

Ingredients

Base / crumble

  • 125 g butter or coconut oil -cubed
  • 170 g rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup (½ cup)
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 120 g mixed seeds (1 cup approx.) I used sunflower seeds and pepitas
  • 120 g wholemeal spelt flour (1 cup)
  • 200 g rolled oats (2 cups) or quinoa flakes (or a mixture)
  • 50 g desiccated coconut (½ cup)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Filling

  • 1 cup your choice of seasonal fruit (fresh plum, apricot, nectarine, peach, berries, apple, pear, cherries) -finely diced or sliced
  • 2 tbsp rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
Prevent your screen from going dark

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180℃ / 350℉ (fan-forced).
  • In a small pot melt the butter and sweetener, mixing to combine. Add the bicarb and stir well.
  • I pulse the seeds in a food processor to break them up and make a finer slice (but you don’t have to). Mix the seeds, flour, oats (or quinoa), coconut and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Add the butter/ sweetener mix and stir to combine.
  • Line a small tin (27cm x 18cm) with baking paper. Press ⅔ of the mixture into the base of the tin and press down firmly with wet hands and bake for 10 minutes. The remaining ⅓ will form the crumble top (so set aside until after the fruit is ready).
  • Whilst this is baking, put all the filling ingredients into the small pot (that you used in the first stage, no need to wash). I’ve used cherries and plums in this photograph as they are in season right now
  • Simmer until the fruit starts to soften, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the base is cooked, top with the fruit mixture and with wet hands, place with the rest of the crumble over the fruit.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until just golden brown.
  • Allow to cool in the pan, refrigerate until firm and then cut into slices (cooling it allows for it to be sliced without crumbling).

Thermomix Method

  • Melt the butter and sweetener 1 minute, temp 90, speed 3 or until melted and combined. Add the bicarb and mix 5 seconds speed 3. Set aside.
  • Pulse the seeds, turbo button 3-4 times (check through the lid after each pulse to chop as required). Add the rest of the crumble ingredients and the butter/sweetener and mix 15 seconds, speed 3. You may need to scrape the sides to fully combine.
  • The filling can also be cooked in the TMX, all of the ingredients into the bowl, temp 90, 100, reverse speed 1. The time depends upon the fruit (softer fruit needs less time), approx 3-5 minutes.
  • Assemble as above.

Store

  • Airtight in the fridge or freezer. You can pack in school lunch boxes from frozen. I also love this heated up with fresh cream – very indulgent!!

Slice gone 'green' (or flecked green)

  • You may have noticed that your seed containing cakes, slices or cookies turn or fleck 'green'. I can explain...Sunflower seeds contain chlorogenic acid which reacts with the baking powder and bicarb when it's heated and turns various shades of green when cooled. To reduce the ‘shrek-look’ you can reduce the baking powder or bicarb (by about a third) or add 2 tsp lemon juice or vinegar to the wet ingredients. But remember - even if they do turn green, they are completely safe to eat.

Variations

Gluten and grain-free

Substitute the spelt for gluten free flour and the oats with quinoa flakes (rolled quinoa).

Dairy-free 

Substitute the butter with coconut oil.

Vegan

Choose rice malt or maple syrup as your sweetener. Substitute the butter with coconut oil.

Nutty

The seeds can be substituted with any nuts. I love this with chopped almonds and pecans or walnuts.

Fructose friendly

Choose rice malt syrup for your sweetener and low fructose fruits for the filling (raspberries, rhubarb is my fave).

Coconut-free

Replace the coconut with ¼ cup of ground seeds or nut meal (if nut free isn't important).

    Do you think it would be possible to make the filling now while I have some super ripe plums and then finish making the rest when I get the rest of the ingredients in a few days? Or would the filling not last in the fridge?

    I love these – I have started making them weekly for lunchboxes! My husband gobbles them up so fast, and it is really nice to have a treat in the lunchbox that isn’t full of junk. They are soooo yummy. I make them with raspberries usually, and with chopped almonds and hazelnuts instead of seeds. A slice is really yummy and really filling!

    Hi Georgia,
    I was wondering your thoughts on date sugar, unsure if it is a better alternative to other unrefined sweeteners. I have found a few recipes on the net to make your own, at least you know what is in it.

    July 20, 2018
    Reply
    • Georgia Harding says

      I’m not a fan of dates or date sugar Carol which is why you won’t find it in my recipes. I know they are popular health foods but they are very high in fructose and I’ve found that doesn’t sit well for most people. I’ve written in depth about it here if you’d like to have a read, let me know if you have nay more questions https://wellnourished.com.au/sugar-are-you-mindful/

      You certainly could Alisha. You could try pure stevia if you wanted to use a zero sugar replacement (if you like the taste of it of course). Or just try with the fruit for sweetness if your sweet taste sensitivity is low. Gx

    Love love love love it!! Can’t wait for my little ones to wake up and try it for breakfast. I made it with apple, pear and peach so it’s not so sweet but so satisfying. But a bit chewy though. I think I’ll put it in the freezer later. Or should it be chewy (it’s not an entirely solid bar when I cut it I mean).

      Hi Nazanin, so glad you love it and thanks for the 5 star rating. Depending how much fruit you add it can be a little soft in the centre. If you want it to be crunchy/ very firm in the middle, cook a little Longer and make sure the fruit layer is quite thin G x

      You can but you don’t have to Kim. The coconut oil is fine, actually tougher than butter in baked goodies (it’s just raw treats it doesn’t hold up out of the fridge). Enjoy G x

    Made this today with butter and used mixed berries as fruits and I completely agree may need to cup of fruits but still delish! I used all the crumbs with yogurt after I cut the slices . Your raspberry slice is on my next to do list!

    I’m sure this is 5 star, but my fruit kind of mooshed up (very ripe yellow peaches) and I didn’t have a distinct nor flavoursome fruit layer. Guessed 70 degrees temperature in the TM because you’ve not mentioned that. Should the fruit still be in tender pieces and what fruit have you found works best?

      Hi Stephanie, peaches don’t have much flavour once cooked (as you’ve found out) so I’d always pair them with a stronger flavour (like raspberry). They also cook much quicker than a firmer fruit (especially if they were soft and ripe to begin with). I personally prefer to cook with fruits with strong flavours like plum, cherry, berries, apple, rhubarb (or a combination of). You have complete control over the texture of the fruit. if you prefer it with crunch, don’t cook it at all (just bake into the slice). Hope that helps G x

    Can you use frozen fruit instead of fresh? Or would they need to be defrosted and excess liquid removed before using?

      Yes you certainly can, and skip the cooking stage. I would defrost it a little first but the chia will help thicken any juices G x

    If substituting quinoa do I cook it first?

      Hi Sarah, it’s ‘rolled or flaked‘ quinoa (not the whole grain) that you use to substitute the rolled oats. So it is already steamed when rolled and ready to simply bake with ☺️

    This is one of my all time favourite ‘Well Nourished’ recipes. It’s simply delicious! (Especially warm with some ice cream!) I like to double the amount of filling as I find the one cup of fruit doesn’t cover the base in the slice tin I use. I definitely like to make sure I always have some of this in the freezer. Loved by the whole family.

    Very simple to make, easy to change around the ingredients and always turns out delicious. I like to include buckwheat (a handful in at the last mix) for added crunch. I don’t use oats but almond meal in their place. And if I add sweet fruit (eg cherries, apples), I don’t need to add sugar/sweetener. Thank you Georgia – this is a healthy sweet treat that satisfies and impresses!

    PS I’ve also served this broken into chunks layered with yoghurt and it was a great breakfast alternative.

      Hi Hope, because I offer lots of variations in my recipes I don’t include a nutrient panel as it will vary a lot depending on the version/ sweetener etc you choose. There are loads of calculators online you could use if this is important to you G x

    I made this ages ago… and Master 9 didn’t love it :(. So I cut it up & popped it in the freezer. Fast forward to this week and I was stretching for school lunchbox and thought “ah well – if he’s hungry he’ll eat it.” He arrived home from school and declared “What was that in my lunch today? It’s delicious! Can I have it tomorrow?” haha. Sold. Thankyou Georgia x

    Love this recipe! When using nectarines would you peel the skin before stewing them? Thanks!

      Hi Lauren, I don’t think that would be necessary (unless you really didn’t love the skin)!
