In our quest to reduce the amount of packaged food we consume, and because I have always been a huge fan of crunchy muesli or granola, over the years I have come up with various recipes for homemade muesli & granola. Ingredients can be bought in bulk and you can make it fresh when you want it. This is the current favourite, and has been created to reduce our lectin intake (activated nuts, few seeds) and moderate carbohydrate content. Like most of my recipes, this can easily be adapted by adding other ingredients (great with pistachios & hemp seeds or activated pepitas too) or removing those you don’t like or find hard to get.
This should make 4 -6 generous serves but to be honest, if it’s part of a post surf or run late breakfast, the less serves I seem to get out of it!
