Fig and Cashew Morning Muesli
Rating:
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
- ¼ cup runny honey (or substitute maple syrup if vegan)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- Pinch of salt
- 2½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup cashews
- ¾ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup sultanas
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup goji berries
- 6 dried figs, finely sliced ½
Method:
- Preheat oven to bake 160 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Add coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla essence and a pinch of salt in a stove pot. Melt together over a low heat, stirring continuously.
- Add rolled oats into a large mixing bowl, and pour over the melted honey oil mixture. Using a spoon or spatula, toss the oats with the mixture until evenly coated.
- Spoon onto the prepared baking tray and distribute so you have a nice even layer. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden. Open the oven every five minutes or so during baking to toss oats around, so they colour evenly. Keep an eye on the oats as it can quickly burn!
- Remove oats from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Tip the cooled oats into a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of your ingredients (shredded coconut, cashews & dried fruit) and mix well. Store in an airtight container or jar.½
