For a new twist on a healthy, satisfying breakfast, try this homemade toasted muesli. It's lower in fat and sugar than granola, but higher in fibre and protein.
Ingredients
2 cups large-flake oats
1/2 cup pepitas
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts or almonds
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup hemp hearts or flax meal
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
HEAT a large frying pan over medium. Toast oats, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 min. Transfer to a large bowl.
TOAST pepitas, stirring often, until they puff up slightly, about 8 min. Stir into oats along with walnuts, coconut, flax meal and salt.
Yogurt and muesli parfait recipe
Layer muesli with yogurt and fresh fruit—we love it with juicy, in-season oranges and just a touch of honey.
