Cacao and cinnamon toasted muesli

I don't know about you, but I get bored with the standard raw muesli sometimes. So I've been looking around for healthy breakfast alternatives. (Of course, NEVER believe the claims made by breakfast cereal companies about how good their cereals are for you. Their claims almost always stink with mis-truths). I find store bought toasted muesli has too much sweetener in it and is so expensive. I was recommended a great app (http://thewholepantryapp.com/) which has an amazing granola recipe. The cinnamon and raw cacao tastes too good to be healthy - but it's actually really good for you! I'll be adding to my normal soaked muesli just before I eat it so I still get the goodness of raw muesli, but with this tasty toasted treat on top. You could also simply eat some for a snack as it is - yum!

This isn't the exact recipe (you should download the app for the exact recipe and many other nutritious and delicious recipes), but I didn't follow it exactly anyway, due to a lack of ingredients I had on hand. There's a lot of room to play with ingredients with muesli. Here's a guide that will help you.

Pre-heat the oven to 125 degrees Celsius. 

Mix together in a bowl:

  • About 3C of any seeds and nuts that you have on hand (I used almonds, sesame seeds, walnuts, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds)
  • 1 C coconut flakes
  • 1 or 2 heaped tablespoons of raw cacao
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1/4c sweetner (could be agave, maple syrup, apple syrup, coconut nectar etc)
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of coconut oil, melted

Spread the mixture out on baking trays (you might need two) lined with baking paper. Bake for around 30 minutes then remove from the oven and let cool.
