Ingredients
  

  • 160 g quick cook oats
  • 200 g rolled oats or jumbo oats
  • 120 g almonds roughly chopped, or other nuts
  • 70 g sunflower seeds
  • 30 g pumpkin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons Chia seeds optional
  • 200 g sultanas or raisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160˚C fan / 180˚C / 320˚F convection / 356˚F.
  • Sprinkle the oats in an even layer on a baking tray and place in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. They should start to smell 'oaty' after this time.
  • Take the tray out of the oven, stir the oats well, then add the chopped almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray.
  • When completely cold, stir in the chia seeds and sultanas or raisins.
  • Store in an airtight jar or container for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Oats – after testing I have found that using a mixture of porridge oats / quick oats and rolled oats or jumbo oats makes the best muesli, however you can use which you prefer and suits your budget.
Nuts – I often use almonds or cashews as they are cheaper nuts, but walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts would be delicious too. (Muesli is a useful recipe for using up the odds and ends in packets of nuts to save them going rancid.)
Seeds – seeds are a great addition as they add crunch and nutrients. They are great if you want a nut free muesli, and are also cheaper than nuts. I like to use pumpkin seeds (pepitas) and raw sunflower seeds.
Dried fruit – sultanas or raisins are good for adding sweetness, you can use chopped dried apricots or dried figs or dates too.
Roughly chop the almonds makes them easier to eat, otherwise you can end up with a mouthful of almonds that take a long time to chew. Plus it helps spread them throughout the muesli so you can get away with slightly less nuts.
You don’t want the oats to become too dark in colour in the oven as this will change their taste and make them tough to eat.
