This week the year 7 classes are making modified muesli bars. We have modified a recipe to lower the fat content and enhance the flavour. We added fruit to make it healthier and taste yummy!

What the class thought: OUR FINAL OUTCOME
We thought it tasted nice because the berries gave it a lot of flavour and the
seeds gave it a nice texture. However, next time we would try it without any sugar
because we increased the amount of honey we used and decreased the butter. The honey is very sweet and so we felt that the sugar could be left out altogether.
