Muesli

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole rolled oats
• ½ cup nuts (e.g. cashews, sliced almonds)
• ¼ cup sesame seeds
• ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil, e.g. ricebran or safflower
• 1 tsp honey
• ½ cup dried fruit (e.g. raisins, cranberries, banana chips, dried apricot)
• 1 tsp mixed spice - freshly ground cinnamon and cloves

Method

Lob all but the fruit and spices into a breadmaker and set to the "jam" setting. The machine will heat and stir it for over an hour, so stop the programme early when the oats are starting to go a nice golden colour. Alternatively you can toast it in the oven spread out on a baking tray, stirring every 5 minutes.

When done, spread out to cool, and stir in the fruit and spice.
