HOMEMADE HONEY TOASTED MUESLI

This is one of my favourite muesli recipes. It comes out of Marie Claire's cookbook Kitchen. It is simple and tasty, but poses the problem of it won't last long in this house. It is lovely and crisp, and marries perfectly with yoghurt, as a topping to stewed fruits, with ice-cream and of course the traditional way in a bowl with milk.

INGREDIENTS
5 cups oats
1 cup triticale (which is a cross of wheat and rye and can be found at health food shops, if you can't find it or don't want to use it just substitute with oats).
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup shredded coconut
2 tbs sesame seeds
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup vegetable oil (you could use coconut oil)
1/4 cup dried apricots chopped
1/4 cup dried apple chopped
1/4 cup dried peaches chopped
(you could use any dried fruit you like)

METHOD
Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius. Mix all the dry ingredients together (excluding dried fruit). Heat the oil and honey together until well combined and toss through the dry ingredients making sure you coat everything. Bake for 30 minutes tossing occasionally until all the ingredients are lightly toasted. I find putting them in two baking dishes helps. Once cooled toss through the dried fruit and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

    1. I hadn't either, and thought it was a long shot, when I visited my local organic store I was surprised to see it there on the shelves. I think any good health store would carry it. Thanks heaps for stopping by!
