Brian's Wonder Muesli

A wonderful recipe for muesli to keep your bowels regular and healthy.
Brian (Sarah's father) and Angela shared this recipe with us back in 2006 and as it is so delicious, we have been making it ever since.

Funnily enough Sarah manages to make it taste a little different from the original version. Maybe a bit more honey required???

This will last for a few weeks for 2 people eating it alternate days.

A number of variations with the nuts and seeds are also possible (e.g. adding pumpkin seeds or pine nuts)





Foodstuff you will need (basic recipe):

• 1kg oatmeal (long cooking)
• 500g sesame seeds
• 500g sunflower seeds
• 500g pecan nuts (or walnuts if you prefer) 
• Ground nutmeg (a few teaspoons to taste)
• Ground cinnamon (a few tea spoons to taste)
• 200ml olive oil
• 200ml of runny honey
• 500g seedless raisins
• 500g dried cranberries (optional)

Equipment:

• 2 large baking trays that fit in your oven
• 2 large bowls for mixing
• Glass measuring jug 
• Wooden spoon
• Microwave

How to throw it together

• Mix all the dry ingredients together in 1 or 2 large bowls and then transfer to 1 or 2 baking trays (depending on volume)
• Mix oil and honey together in the jug and heat in microwave. 
• Add to dry ingredients on the trays and give each a good stir to mix it all in.
• Cook for about 10 minutes in preheated oven at approx 190C

Store in an airtight plastic container.
Serve and with milk and /or yoghurt and chopped fresh fruit (all fresh fruit works well with this)
