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.

To make a yogurt parfait
Layer muesli with yogurt and fresh fruit – we love it with juicy, in-season oranges and just a touch of honey.
