Tasty and super-healthy breakfast muesli

This recipe made its way to my friend, Marcus, by way of a chef at a resort hotel in Queensland, Australia. It’s easy to put together and brilliantly economical as a breakfast food.

Notes

The cooking time will depend on the size of the sheet pan you use. A large pan will distribute the mixture thinly across a greater surface area and will require less time than a smaller sheet pan. If you are using a smaller pan, don’t be surprised if you require more than baking time, and continue with the process of removing the pan and stirring every until you achieve an even golden colour.

Making ahead

Weigh out all the dry ingredients and store in an air-tight container.
