Meusli - updated and upgraded

Saturday mornings after gym are supposedly the mornings we eat some muesli with our fruit...a treat breakfast. However, this muesli is so good I want to eat it EVERY morning. Not good for my waistline at all. I have posted 2 recipes before and you can read the original post at muesli.

I have discovered the joys of organic cereals that I now add to my muesli, as well as coconut oil and Jaggery - a raw cane/palm sugar. The cereals are processed to a degree, but with no additives or sweeteners. It adds a lovely crunch and a variation to the muesli. You can stick to the original recipe and substitute the oil and honey for the "healthier" option if you like. The thing to remember is to use the foods that you enjoy and like to eat. I tend to tip the stuff in and hope for the best...but here is a recipe for you!

                                                  Pan fried Muesli - Take 2
180g Coconut oil (I use organic, virgin)
180g Jaggery ( buy at health shops in a bucket or use honey or sweetener of choice. I like my muesli quite sweet...adjust to taste)
3 cups organic oats
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds (optional)
2T poppy seeds
1 cup cashew nuts
1 cup organic cornflakes (I use Good life)
1 cup organic puffed brown rice (ditto)
1/2 cup organic puffed millet (ditto)
1/2 cup organic coconut flakes
1 cup raisins or cranberries or a mix

Melt the oil and jaggery together gently in a LARGE frying pan. Add all the ingredients excluding the raisins and stir constantly over a low heat until the oats start to toast and turn brown. Stir the raisins through, turn off the heat and turn out onto a large sheet of foil or baking paper to cool.

This stuff is delicious and some days I even eat it for lunch. There is a serious food love affair going on here.
