MUESLI (GRANOLA)
Make your mornings easier and healthier with this versatile homemade Muesli (Granola) recipe. Choose your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits for a breakfast that's perfectly tailored to your taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats whole
- 1 cup buckwheat flakes or fine rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut shredded
- 3 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 Tbsp raw almonds sliced or chopped whole almonds
- 3 Tbsp raw cashews or whatever nut you prefer
- 3 Tbsp sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
- Optional: 1/2 tsp ginger powder and 1 tsp cinnamon or to taste
- 4 Tbsp liquid honey or you can use pure maple syrup for a crunchier result
- 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sultanas
- Optional: 1/2 cup other dried fruits like dates, cranberries, apricots, goji berries, figs, etc.
Instructions
- Combine all of the dry ingredients (including the spices if using, but not the dried fruit) in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix honey and oil well. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Spread the muesli out on a large baking tray, lined with baking paper. (If you’ve doubled the recipe, you’ll need to use two trays or bake one tray at a time.)
- Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 20 minutes or until golden, stirring the mixture half way through, so it cooks evenly.
- Let the muesli cool a little on the bench, then break it up with your hands (otherwise it will dry into large pieces). Add the sultanas and other dried fruit.
- Serve with fruit of your choice and milk (I use home-made almond milk) or yoghurt.
- Store the muesli in an airtight container – it will keep for several months.
