Murmura and Oats Bar

Hi Friends,

One more healthy bar (skip oil) in the list. Few days back i bought a huge box of oats to add in my food. But very much not willing to make porridge and making idlis or  was not an easy affair for me as my grinder is not working. So it kept on laying for one week. Secondly yesterday my son called me up while i was in office and said-Mom i am hungry. You made nothing for us. I gave him endless list of things laying in the pantry but he said no i don't want to have this and that. I become so restless at office and decide to make something to munch upon if kids feel hungry. I started searching for easy and healthy recipes as i get very less time after reaching home. 

First thing which caught my attention was murmura and oats bar at Aarthis' space. As both things were laying in the pantry i decide to make them at night. After finishing dinner i made these bars. It hardly took 5-7 minutes to make these bars but required resting time was almost 2 hours in fridge. So i decided to cut them in the morning. I kept it whole night in the fridge. In the morning after preparing kids for school i took it out and started cutting the piece,as soon as i took out one piece my son grabbed it from my hands and started munching. I told them that this is for both of you only have patience, but who was listening all that. They asked me to pack few pieces in there lunch box and put rest of them in fridge then i said what about me? My son said OK YOU CAN HAVE ONE :). Thanks kids for letting me try one :). I think it can also be made without oil. Will try next time. Till then try it guys.

Notes:-

1. You can add any dried fruits, dry fruits, seeds in it as per your choice.
2. You can choose sugar instead of honey if you are not health conscious and don't mind sugar in your food.
3. After making it, baking for 5 minutes will make it more crispier.
4. You can easily skip peanut butter and make it with just oil and honey. My kids love peanut butter so that i added it. 
5. Keep them in fridge for crunchiness.
6. I think we can also make it without oil also. Please let me know the results if anybody tried it.

Chocolate Bars with Muesli

Hi Friends,

Sometimes you love something which is very unhealthy weather its  junk food or sweets like chocolate. These cases are more worst in kids. Who doesn't love Chocolates. I haven't seen a single kids yet who doesn't love it. Even elders become kids when it comes to chocolates. When it comes to health issues for kids and elders its become a hindrance to enjoy this delicacy, having chocolate is a  risky affair in daily routine. But now it is proved that Dark chocolate if taken in moderation will help you to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Its a good antioxidant, helps in weight loss, lower high BP, controls High Blood sugar and good for your heart and brain. source fitday.

Most of the time i make chocolates at home. To make it more healthy i use dry fruits muesli and olive oil. This way i achieve lots of benefits together. My kids always ask me to make more and store in the fridge but i know all that will vanish up in single day. So make them in intervals with different ingredients like with dry fruits, cornflakes, peanuts etc. This time i used muesli and it came out so yum. I have lots of chocolate molds but if you don't have then don't worry you can make your own molds (see notes). So guys these are enough reasons to indulge in your favorite dark chocolate bar. Don't wait, just try it.

Ingredients:-
Cooking Dark Chocolate - 150gm or chopped one cup
Dry Fruit Muesli - 3/4 cup
Olive Oil- 1 tbsp
Chocolate mold- bars shape (see notes)

Method:-

Ingredients

chocolate

Muesli

Chocolate mold

melt chocolate by double boiling method

add olive oil and mix well (sorry forgot to take pic)

Now throw in muesli

Mix well

Pour it in molds and keep in freezer for 10 minutes

tap mold to unmold bars

You crunchy munchy chocolate bars are ready

you can wrap them and gift to someone you love

I also made some square shape crunchy chocolate

ENJOYYYYYYYYY

Gift for someone you love

Notes:-

1. All utensils you use should be completely dry, moisture can damage your whole chocolate.
2. If you don't have muesli in hand then you can use anything in hand like cornflakes, dry fruits, dried fruits etc. You can also make them plain.
3. If you don't have mold then cover a square shape pan or thali/plate with foil, pour the mixture, let it cool (not in fridge) for 5 minutes, mark the cuts and then put in freezer to set.
4. You can use butter or normal vegetable oil instead of olive oil.
5. keep chocolate in freezer for 10 minutes, tab mold to remove it and then wrap it in wrapping paper (its a chocolate wrapping paper not normal gift wrapping paper).
6. Wrap chocolate immediately after unmolding it otherwise it will get moisture and it would be difficult to store it for longer.
7. In case you get moisture on chocolate immediately pet dry with dry and clean kitchen towel and wrap it.
