Variations
- For some extra kick, sprinkle muesli with a pinch of dried cardamom or a pinch of dried ginger.
- Instead of cranberries, you can use sultanas, chopped dates or defrosted blueberries.
- As an extra treat, add 1 teaspoon honey.
HFG tip
- Because bananas are soft, use a butter knife or the edge of a fork to slice the banana.
- When choosing which seeds to add, sesame, sunflower, flax or poppy seeds are all good choices.
- Nuts and seeds are rich in oils, so a little goes a long way. Very nutty muesli may be super tasty, but it’s hard on the tummy.
- The muesli will be softer if you soak the oats overnight in 1/4 cup water or 1/4 cup apple juice, but it won’t look as flash as unsoaked muesli.
