So I found this yummy muesli slice to make and have on hand. Sure, it is probably packed with enough energy for me to climb mountains but it is at least a step away from my 'daily brownie' or piece of cake :(
And guess what? I managed to make the whole thing with my little one tucked into a sling across my chest, not a peep!
It can be pretty crumbly upon cutting but it's great to keep those bits in a sealed container to sprinkle on cereal... like granola! Its also a very flexible recipe in that you can include any cereal or nut 'scraps' you have in your cupboard... even a handful of chocolate chips... perfect. Enjoy.
