That looks great! - and the fact it can be stored for a few weeks - i don't by toasted granola-store bought, too expensive and too much sugar-love the fact that it is toasted-i find that much easier to digest and i like the crunch! Thankyou:_)

I have muesli in the warmer summer months every morning , do roast it in the oven ,also add linseeds , nuts like almonds, cashews and walnuts , but not the dried fruit , also add later apricots , goji berries , cranberries , figs .after it has cooled down .
Do not add the oil and the honey . For me it is sweet enough with the fruit . So there are no clusters . I have enough for a few months , leave it in an air tight container.
