Oat couture

Those of you who like to wake up to a proper bowl of yoghurt and muesli know tasty sugarfree muesli is hard to come by. It is either really dull and dry, or very expensive. Hence the excitement when this recipe came along! You can find it after the jump.

100g rolled oats*
100g rolled quinoa
50g raw buckwheat
50g raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
50g raw almonds
50g raw walnuts
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
50g virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon rice syrup
goji berries
dried apricots
fresh figs
* for a gluten-free version, use uncontaminated gluten-free oats
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Combine oats, quinoa, buckwheat, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almond, walnuts and cinnamon in a large bowl.
2. Place coconut oil and rice syrup in a small saucepan and heat just enough to melt. Pour this mixture into the muesli and mix well to combine. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until well toasted. Be careful not to let this burn, cover the muesli with a sheet of baking paper, if necessary!
3. Leave the muesli to cool on a wire rack before storing in an air-tight container. Add goji berries and dried apricots in the mix and serve the muesli with some home-made oat yoghurt and fresh fruit.
