Muesli

In my mad rush to make and freeze some food before our new baby arrived I made about 6 batches of this delicious muesli. This is my favourite way of making Muesli as I prefer it with no dried fruit. You can easily add the dried fruit at the end of the baking process if you prefer.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup honey
4 cups rolled grain (I use '5 grain mix' which has a variety of different rolled grains, but you can use rolled oats or anything else that you may like)
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped ABC (almonds, brazil nut, cashews) mix
1 cup sunflower seeds/pepitas/sesame (you choose the mix you like - I added all sunflower seeds)
2 vanilla pods, seeds scraped out
1 cup dried fruit (optional)

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a large tray with baking paper.
• Heat the honey on the stove until it becomes liquid but not boiling. Add the vanilla seeds and mix well. Let the honey slightly cool.
• In a large bowl mix the rolled grain, nuts and seeds. Pour the honey over the mixture and stir through . Place evenly over the baking tray and put into the oven.
• Let it bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes as the honey can easily burn. If you have an old oven like mine, you may leave it in for a little longer. Just remember that the muesli does harden as it cools so do not over cook.
• Take the muesli out of the oven and let it cool completely
• Add the dried fruit (optional)

ENJOY!!
