How to make muesli

I have a slight wheat intolerance which lead me to discover Pertwee Farm’s organic muesli range a few years ago. At nearly £3 a smallish packet this is no longer a purchase I am prepared to make since saying goodbye to my salary.

I now make my own with the following ingredients which is far cheaper and loads tastier:

  • Rye flakes (health food store)
  • Barley flakes (health food store)
  • Jumbo oat flakes (supermarket)
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Raisins
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Dried apricots (chopped)
  • Banana chips (occasional as I’m not all that fond of them)

I mix various quantities/ratios – usually the contents of each of the packets in a cereal store container and this lasts our family for ages, well over a month. The kids love it and ask for it for teatime which makes life very easy for me.

    Thanks! This is very useful to me as I love muesli but hate raisins! and it is just such a faff picking them all out each time. But unlike you I love banana chips so I think I will just make up with them :)
    thanks again
