Crunchy Muesli
(makes about 25 serves)
Prep time: 10mins
Cook time: 30mins
I love working out ways to make things you normally buy at the supermarket... Muesli is one of those. It's super easy and when you make it yourself, you know exactly what's going in. I like it topped with almond milk. Add a dollop of full fat greek style yoghurt for a protein packed breakkie.You can also soak this overnight in milk or yoghurt for a bircher style muesli. Make it gluten free… use soaked buckwheat groats and flaked quinoa instead of oats.
