Motivate Monday: Eat right, Eat Clean - 3pm Snack Alternative

What you put in your mouth important. I snack on muesli bars at work and I had an idea of making my own, so we had no hidden nasties! Looking for a recipe was a challenge, I couldn't find anything that was quite like what i wanted.  So after several attempts I believe (and the staff in my office agree) I have mastered the recipe. I thought i would share it with you today so that you can also have a crack at my Muesli Bar Muffins.

What you will need:
1 cup of cooked Quinoa
2 cups Rolled Oats
1 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 sunflower seeds
1/2 LSA mix
3/4 Cup roasted buckwheat
1 tablespoon of white chia (follow the instructions on packet to make a chia gel)
1/4 cup of craisins
1/3 cup of dried apricots, diced
1/4 cup of sultanas
1/2 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup Agave Nectar
1/2 cup honey
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp of coconut essence
1 tsp of vanilla extract

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 175 degrees
Take a muffin tin and spray with canola oil, use a paper towel to spread it out evenly and remove any excess.

Steps to making yummy goodness:

2. Make a well and add honey, agave, coconut essence and vanilla extract, stir through
3. Add chia gel mix and quinoa, stir through again
4. Spoon mixture into muffin tray
