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
