Homemade Toasted Muesli

When I recently moved back home to Tasmania I never thought I'd see the day where I actually missed British food!  As hard as I tried, I just couldn't find a museli I liked as much as any of the British brands I had become accustomed to over the past 6 years... so what's a girl to do?  Make her own of course!  Here's a really simple, healthy recipe for you to try yourself.  The beauty of it is, you can put whatever you like in and keep all the nasties out!

Preparation Time: 5 mins
Cooking Time: 25 mins
Serves: about 20 small bowls

Ingredients:
 - 8 cups rolled oats
 - 2 cups mixed, unsalted nuts of your choosing (I think almonds, cashews, pecans and hazelnuts work wonderfully)
 - 1/2 cup mixed seeds (I like to use pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
 - 1 cup chopped dried fruit (I like to use apricots, cranberries and raisins)
 - 1/2 cup moist coconut flakes
 - 2 tsp vanilla essence
 - 5 tbs honey
 - 1/2 cup sunflower oil

Method:
1)  Preheat oven to 150'C

2)  In a large bowl, mix together your oats and nuts.

2)  In a mixing jug, mix together your oil, vanilla and honey.

3)  Pour your wet ingredients into the oat mixture and stir to combine.

4)  Pour all of the mixture into a prepared baking tray, lined with baking paper.  Spread evenly to allow even toasting.

5)  Bake in the oven for about 12-15mins, then remove and stir through your dried fruit and coconut.  Return the tray to the oven for a further 10-12 mins, or until the oats turn slightly golden.

6)  Allow to cool completely before serving and storing in airtight jars for up to 4 weeks.
