Honey Toasted Muesli



I have made a lot of muesli in my time and I have found that pretty much any combination of nuts, grains, fruits and seeds can be delicious, and so much better than anything you can buy in the supermarket.  The only thing that you need to do is shake or stir the mix every 10 minutes during baking so the nuts and coconut don’t burn. You can substitute the honey for maple or golden syrup or apple juice and change the combination of ingredients to suit your taste. If you are adding dried fruit, slice it up and add it after the muesli is cooked and cooled.

















4 cups rolled oats
1 cup raw almonds
½ cup slivered almonds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup shredded or flaked coconut
½ cup raw cashews
¼ cup chia seeds
1 tspn cinnamon
1 cup raisins
½ cup honey

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except raisins and honey. Microwave honey for 30 seconds and then pour into dry ingredients and mix well. Lay out muesli mix on two baking trays and bake for 10 mins. Remove trays form oven, stir muesli and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove trays, add raisins, stir again and bake for a final 10 minutes. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
