Servings: 14
Equipment
- bowls
- baking tray
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- spatulas
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup quinoa flakes
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup mixed seeds
- 1 1/2 cup dried fruit
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F/170C/150Fan.
- Measure out the oats and quinoa flakes into a large mixing bowl. Add in the maple syrup, olive oil, salt (if using) and the cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment and spread out the mixture. You may need two baking trays so that the ingredients can be spread reasonably thinly.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, mix it around a little and add the seeds, coconut flakes and flaked almonds. Mix around a little and put it back into the oven for a further 5 minutes. Check that none of the ingredients are getting too brown. You are aiming for golden flecks on the coconut flakes and a little golden colouring on the almonds.
- Tip the toasted oat and seed mixture back into the original bowl and add the other ingredients. Chop up any larger fruits such as apricots, figs or dates (if using).
- Mix well and use your 'cup' measure as a scoop to put the muesli into an airtight container.
