Ingredients
Units
- 4oz muesli
- 120ml strong tea
- 2 med eggs
- 6oz caster sugar
- 1tsp baking powder
- 6oz plain flour
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl pour in the muesli. Make a cup of tea using 120ml water (don’t add any milk if you use normal tea)
- Leave to cool for 20-30mins and then pour into the bowl with the muesli. Leave to soak for 2-3hrs until soft.
- Preheat oven 180C/350F/Gas mark 4 and line a square/rectangular cake run with grease proof paper.
- There should still be some liquid in the muesli mix, if not add some more to make it back up to approximately 120ml.
- Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon (fold in the flour)
- Once combined pour into the cake tin and bake for 15-20mins until golden.
- Leave on the side and cool. Pop out of the tin onto a wire wrack and leave to cool further. Cut into slices and serve!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the muesli need to soak in tea for 2–3 hours before baking?
The soaking softens the muesli so it bakes evenly into the bar. After soaking there should still be about 120 ml of liquid remaining; if not, add a little more before mixing in the other ingredients.
Does it matter what type of tea I use?
Use 120 ml of strong tea, and if using normal tea don’t add any milk — just plain brewed tea cooled before pouring over the muesli.
