Most mornings my kids start the day with a bowl of Weet-bix. They like to crumble up the wheat biscuits before adding the milk, but then they will only eat them when soggy. This seems wrong to me, I only ate my Weet-bix while still crunchy, and I find it hard to witness their mush making ritual. I much prefer to (go back to bed then) start the day with a bowl of muesli.
Here is my recipe -
1kg rolled oats - preferably organic
About 1 cup of each of the following (this will vary according to taste or what's in the cupboard)
- Nuts/seeds - almonds,pumpkin and sunflower seeds, Linseed or LSA,,
- Dried fruit- apricots &/or Sultanas or currants (sulphur free), shredded coconut
Method
Pour the rolled oats into a large baking pan
Chop up almonds and apricots
Add in nuts and dried fruit to oats and mix in ( at this point you will get the idea if you have the right balance of nuts, fruit and oats and can adjust according to taste)
If you want to toast it (more like a granola) warm oil and honey* till mixed then pour over and stir into muesli. Toast by placing in a low oven (150 )for 45 - 60 mins. Stir occasionally and check regularly so that the top doesn't burn. *I don't tend to toast mine any more so i can't remember the exact quantities but its about 1 third honey to 2 thirds oil.
Store muesli in an air tight container.

Great! Finally I have the recipe for your fabulous muesli. Have always loved it toasted but with the ever expanding waistline me thinks un-toasted is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteyes, untoasted is my 'diet' version.
ReplyDeleteGlad to discover it was museli as I thought kitty litter with a large dump in it was a bizarre post......but hey...'funnel and spade'!
