Muesli with Maple Syrup and Dried Cranberries
Muesli with Maple Syrup and Dried Cranberries
I can’t really say that making your own muesli is the cheapest thing but it certainly will be the best that you are likely to eat. I can’t say how much we enjoy eating this for breakfast.
It’s a bit unfortunate that maple syrup is so expensive here but it definitely distinguishes this muesli from most others. Muesli is easy to make and most of the ingredients are in your cupboard already.
The two benefits of making your own muesli is that it will taste better than any you can buy, in addition you get to control the contents. You can buy your ingredients at the supermarket or choose only bio-dynamic. Whether or not you use maple flavored syrup and oats from the supermarket or go the whole way with real maple and only bio-dynamic ingredients, either way it will still be the best.
I have added another muesli recipe since I put this one up Muesli with Honey and Apricots.
Muesli with Maple Syrup and Dried Cranberries
Ingredients
- 250 gr oatmeal
- 35 gr sesame seed
- 65 gr walnuts
- 65 gr hazelnuts without thier skins
- 35 gr coconut shards untoasted
- 35 gr pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp salt
- 100 gr brown sugar
- 60 ml vegetable oil you can use conola oil or other unflavored oil
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 75 gr dried cranberries
- 75 gr raisons either dark or blond
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 125C degrees
- Start with the nuts. Cut each hazelnuts in half and break up the walnuts into 4 or five pieces. I find it easier to get the right size using my hands instead of a knife on the walnuts.
- Then add all the dry ingredients. Don't add the fruit!
- Mix it up well with your hands. Then add the maple syrup and oil and with a large spoon mix well but gently to evenly incorporate the the wet ingredients.
- Pour the mixture onto a flat oven tray and spread it out evenly. Then place in the oven for 50 minutes. Remove the tray every 20 minutes and stir the muesli to to help it toast evenly.
- When done remove from the oven and add the dried fruit and mix well. Then return to the oven for 10 minutes.
- When done I usually pour this out on to a piece of baking paper and let it cool then store in a glass mason jar.
