Homemade Muesli

Enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack throughout the day, this muesli is loved in our household. We hope you enjoy it to.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups oats

  • 1 cup wheatgerm

  • 1/2 cup flaxseed flour (optional)

  • 1 cup chopped dried fruit (we used dried dates and apricots. You could add seeds/nuts too)

  • 1 T manuka honey

  • 1/2 cup walnut oil (walnut oil has a delicious flavour and we’re lucky to have this ‘on tap’ from Uncle Joes in Marlborough (AKA Mum and Dad). Other oils would be fine to use too).

Method

  • Mix dried ingredients together in one large bowl (including dried fruit).

  • Heat honey to melt it. Add oil to honey and stir.

  • Pour oil/honey through the dry ingredients and stir.

  • Spread mixture out evenly over large oven tray/dish (preferably one with sides!) lined with baking paper.

  • Place in oven at 180 degrees C for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Stir regularly to ensure even baking (and watch it doesn’t burn!)

  • Remove from oven and leave to cool on tray. Stir it every now and then to assist cooling.

  • Store in airtight container once 100% cooled.

  • Enjoy with milk/yoghurt/your favourite toppings!

* Everyone has their own level of ‘crunch’ they enjoy with their muesli. Adjust bake time to suit.

Enjoy! At Your Table x
