Top Tip for making Granola bar

If liked you can use muesli instead of porridge oats and the nuts and fruits, but buy unsweetened cereal or the recipe may be too sweet. Ready-made granola can also be used, but as it is often drier than porridge oats it may make the bars more crumbly and difficult to cut into slices.
