Mum's Muesli

No matter how many posh granola recipes I try I do come back to this good old basic crunchy, everyday muesli. I have made bucket loads of this over the years!

Turn the oven on to 180C.

In a large, deep sided baking tray lined with baking paper, put:

4 cups rolled oats

2 cups wheatgerm (I have substituted baking bran but it's quite strong - or you could do half and half)

1 cup coconut (dessicated or shredded)

Half a cup of brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp mixed spice

Mix well with your hands to make sure its all mixed up, then drizzle over:

1/4 cup oil (it was canola or veggie oil in Alison Holsts book but I use coconut oil)

1/2 cup milk

Mix again to make sure that everything is evenly damp and then bake for 15 minutes before stirring well. Keep baking for 10 minutes and stirring until you've reached the desired level of toastedness. Cool and store in an air tight container. Add in any other dried fruit when it's cold.

Brilliant served with greek yogurt and blueberries.
