Making your own muesli

[thepixie]

We eat Brookfarm muesli, which is yum but so expensive..... if we pour a bowl and don't eat it I feel like I'm pouring gold flakes down the sink!
I want to mix my own and I was wondering does anyone here do this and if so where do you get the goodies?

Hi Thepixie,
I have a fab home made toasted muesli recipe that is delicious as well as very nutritional. I can't survive without...

Beckstar's Toasted Muesli

4cups rolled oats
2cups oat bran
1cup of each of the following;
-wheatgerm
-crushed nuts
-cocount
-sunflower seeds
-pumpkin seeds
-almond flakes
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds & linseed

In a saucepan, mix together 3/4 cup oil, 1cup honey and tbsp vanilla essence. Once these are heated & combined, add to dry mix and stir thru.

Place mix into an ungreased cooking tray and bake in 180 degrees oven for 10-15mins until top is slightly browned.

Allow to cool, then add sultana's & diced dried apricots.

Can even be great as a mid afternoon snack in a mug with milk if your feeling like something a little bit sweet- better for you than chocolate and just as yummy :-)
