Basic muesli Recipe
- 200g/7oz jumbo porridge oats
- 25g/1oz flaked bran or wheat germ
- 75g/3oz barley or rye flakes (optional, you can always add more oats instead)
- 50g/2oz hazelnuts, lightly crushed
- 50g/2oz flaked almonds
- 50g/2oz sultanas
- 50g/2oz dried, ready-to-eat apricots, roughly chopped
- 50g/2oz dried, ready-to-eat figs, roughly chopped
- Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
- Place the oats, flaked bran or wheat germ, barley or rye flakes, hazelnuts and almonds on a large baking tray and toast in the oven for 10 minutes, shaking and turning in the tray halfway through. Take the tray from the oven and leave to cool: this should take only about 10 minutes.
- Mix the toasted ingredients with the sultanas, apricots and figs. These fruits are only suggestions: you can use whatever you prefer, for example dried apple, mango, papaya, dates or cherries.
- You can eat this muesli straight away with milk or yoghurt, or you can store in an airtight container.
