1
In a bowl combine the roasted oats, almonds, black currants, cornflakes and apricots.
2
Store in an airtight container and use as required.
3
Dried pineapple, banana or other fruits may also be added.
4
To serve, take a little of the prepared muesli mixture in a bowl.
5
Add figs and fresh strawberries.
6
Stir in honey and cold/hot milk, whichever you prefer.
7
For those who can't have milk because they are on a vegan diet or on a weight loss or are avoiding milk and milk products, they may stir in water(this is what I do).
8
Those who like yoghurt may add that to the muesli mixture.
9
Mix well, allow to stand for 12 minutes and then eat it with a small spoon(a recent study has found that those who want to lose weight eat with smaller spoons and in smaller plates thereby fooling themselves into eating less).
10
Enjoy and have a good day ahead!

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
