Toasted muesli
Make this once and enjoy it for weeks. It seems expensive when you make it but is a lot cheaper per serve than muesli off the shelf. And it tastes better. It’ll keep well in an airtight container. You can buy the ingredients from the self-serve section if your supermarket has one.
Servings: 20 1/4 cup serves
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 100 g sunflower seeds
- 150 g pumpkin seeds
- 100 g slivered almonds
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup wheat germ
- ½ cup dried figs chopped
- ½ heaped tsp of ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ cup honey
- 40 ml macadamia oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160C. Line 2-3 baking trays with baking paper or foil.
- Heat the honey and oil together in a saucepan over low heat until they’re warm and runny. You can also do this in the microwave on low. Make sure that they don’t boil. Remove from the heat and add cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.
- Combine oats, sunflower seeds, pepitas, slivered almonds, coconut and wheat germ in a very large bowl. Pour over the honey mixture and mix well.
- Spread the mixture over your trays and bake them for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir, and then return them to the oven for another 10 minutes. Keep going until your muesli is golden – it usually takes 40-60 minutes.
- Remove your muesli from the oven and leave it to cool completely. Then stir through the figs and keep in an airtight container.
- ¼ - ½ cup of this muesli is one serve. Top with your favourite milk, spoon of yoghurt and a serving of any fresh fruit.
Notes
- If you want to squeeze in a little extra protein sprinkle over some Beneprotein before serving and if you want to add some more fibre, sprinkle over some psyllium husks, LSA or Benefibre.
