Slow Roasted Maple Muesli
This muesli is a delicious meal to have on its own for breakfast. I personally love it with freshly whipped coconut cream and seasonal fruit and berries. It makes a beautiful crunchy topping for Bircher and is wonderful in homemade cereal bars.
The recipe is very versatile. Use whatever combination of nuts and seeds you have available and feel free to add dried fruit such as apricots, cranberries or goji berries. If you don’t have maple syrup an alternative natural sweetener like rice malt syrup or raw honey are just as yummy.
I’ve included the process of ‘activating’ the nuts in the method section, since doing this allows for easier digestion and more nutrients to be absorbed.

Hi, this recipe looks amazing. I see servings is left blank as i’m sure it depends on how much you like to pour out! But roughly how much does this recipe make and roughly how many serves? If you know. Thanks!
Hi Kat! Its delicious. It makes about 10 cups, which is almost 2.5 litres so probably imagine 2 small cereal boxes. We’ll update the recipe with serving sizes. Thanks for your feedback. Sharon xx
