So I've been on a bit of health kick lately and have taken to whipping up my own muesli. Don't panic, because it's nowhere near as daunting as it sounds, and the end result really is quite delicious. See...
Here's what you'll need to make your own at home:
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup rice puffs (sorry, I totes forgot to take a pic of the packet but you'll find them in the health food aisle of your supermarket)
1 cup walnuts (or any other nut you'd prefer)
couple of large spoonfuls of LSA (again, find this in your health food aisle)
1/4 canola oil
big blob of honey
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
And here's how you make it:
1. Pre heat your oven to 150 degrees C
2. Pour your dry ingredients into an oven dish...
(this is what rice puffs look like) (oats)
LSA
4. Now here comes the painful bit...you need to cook the mixture for about 90 minutes, stirring it every 15 minutes. If you don't stir it every 15 minutes, the nuts will burn and taste, well burnt. But trust me, the tedious mixing and oven watching is totally worth it.
I like to serve mine with a sprinkling of Chai Seeds (again, find these in the health freak section of your supermarket), skim milk and fruit (in the warmer months I use frozen raspberries and in the cooler months I use a chopped up banana...because my old nanna teeth don't cope well with cold things in winter) Enjoy!








that looks amazing. Tell me... Whats this LSA you speak of, I have seen it popping up all over the place. The benefits of eating it would be...?

Hey Tara. Here's a link that explains what LSA is: http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/dietandhealth/qanda/8224319/what-is-lsa-and-should-i-eat-it
DeleteIt's really good to add to your baking as apparently it's a great source of fibre. I usually throw in a tablespoon of it when I'm cooking muffins, banana bread etc - you can't taste it and the kids don't know it's in there. Totally win win!!
Excellent thanks. I'm going to look further into it. x
