Homemade Muesli

This is a great healthy option. It’s a perfect breakfast all year round. Because there are no oils or saturated fats, it’s really healthy and won’t go rancid in your pantry.  Making your own breakfast cereal means that there are no artificial preservatives, colours or flavours. It’s truly the healthiest way to start your day.

 Homemade Muesli

1kg raw rolled oats

1 cup oat bran

¾ cup natural almonds

¼ cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

1 cup shaved coconut (not desiccated)

½ raw sugar

¼ cup of honey or golden syrup

½ cup boiling water

1 cup sultanas

1.     Heat oven to 170C. Place a sheet of baking paper onto a large baking tray or two baking trays depending on your oven size. Place oats, bran, almonds, sunflower seeds, sugar and coconut onto your tray.

2.     Pour 1 cup of water into a mug, into this add you honey or syrup, and stir until dissolved. Drizzle this mixture over the baking trays. Mix until wet blends with the oats.

3.     Place into the oven for 30 minutes, take out and mix every 10 minutes to prevent the edges from overcooking.  Sprinkle the sultanas over the top and set aside.

4.     Allow the muesli to cool before transferring into airtight containers.

We have a constant supply of muesli in our house. It’s delicious with natural yoghurt and a bit of honey. To mix it up, add other types of nuts, seeds and maybe other bought muesli to mix in.
