Cereals have always been a quick breakfast and perfect for rushed mornings, but they don't fit my whole foods philosophy, so I've had to make a new plan. That plan is homemade muesli. It's so easy to make and adjust the ingredients to become a new favourite.
Basically it is just toasted oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. You can adjust the quantities to suit your taste.
The hardest part of this recipe is toasting the oats and that is really easy. You need a large pan, oil or fat of your choice and sweetener of your choice (optional). Large flake oats work best, but is not essential. I like using organic coconut oil and honey.
Heat your oil in a large pan and add honey to taste. Mix and add the oats. Keep stirring the oats until it starts to change colour. Now add your nuts and/or seeds (I like using chopped pecans, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds). Keep stirring, toasting the oats and the nuts, until the oats are crispy and fragrant. Add bite-size dried fruits (I like pears, apricots and raisins) and mix together. Let it cool and keep in an air tight container. Serve with milk or yoghurt.
