Scandinavian Muesli Food

SCANDINAVIAN MUESLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread oats and rye (or wheat) flakes on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir in almonds and coconut; bake until the oats are fragrant, about 8 minutes. Turn off the oven. Stir raisins into the muesli.
• Microwave honey for 10 seconds in a glass measuring cup. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon; drizzle over the muesli and stir to coat. Return the muesli to the turned-off warm oven and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Stir in flaxseeds, if using.

BASIC MUESLI

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the roasted oats, almonds, black currants, cornflakes and apricots.
• Store in an airtight container and use as required.
• Dried pineapple, banana or other fruits may also be added.
• To serve, take a little of the prepared muesli mixture in a bowl.
• Add figs and fresh strawberries.
• Stir in honey and cold/hot milk, whichever you prefer.
• For those who can't have milk because they are on a vegan diet or on a weight loss or are avoiding milk and milk products, they may stir in water(this is what I do).
• Those who like yoghurt may add that to the muesli mixture.
• Mix well, allow to stand for 12 minutes and then eat it with a small spoon(a recent study has found that those who want to lose weight eat with smaller spoons and in smaller plates thereby fooling themselves into eating less).
• Enjoy and have a good day ahead!
