We love muesli & granola but the problem with store-bought varieties is usually the amount of hidden sugar in them; it’s like having dessert for breakfast! So we thought we’d kick it up a notch & make our own – once you’ve tried our Superfood Granola Dust, you’ll see how simple & delicious it is

There are so many different way to mix this up, but we usually have a core recipe which we tweak according to what we have in, which keeps things more interesting than the same thing every day

Oats are really good for you as well – they’re low GI so you feel fuller for longer, plus they help to lower cholesterol levels Have these hot or cold; they’re also great for overnight oats Add a splash more milk than you think you’ll need as they tend to soak up the liquid really well & they’re better loose than stodgy

As with most of our recipes, this is the base – there’s so many variations on this so it’s easy to tweak it & make it your own If there’s something you don’t have or don’t like, leave it out & substitute something else

INGREDIENTS (Makes enough for the whole month) 

• 1kg plain rolled oats
• 250g mixed nuts, whatever you like

METHOD

1. in a large baking tray, mix the oats & nuts, then gently roast for 20 mins in a low oven (170-180c)
2. remove from oven, add everything else & mix well
3. leave to cool, then blitz in a food processor in batches until desired texture – we prefer it fairly fine, but not completely into powder
4. transfer to an airtight container
5. to eat, add a few spoonfuls to a bowl & just cover with hazelnut milk (or your fave), stir well & top with berries, chopped banana or thick yoghurt
