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 ingredients except the fruit and spices into a breadmaker and set to the "jam" setting. The machine will heat and stir it for over an hour and burn it, so stop the programme early when the oats are starting to go a nice golden colour. My machine takes about 50 minutes. 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.
