Peanut Butter Maple Muesli

Peanut butter maple muesli served with natural Greek yoghurt, banana and a sprinkle of 123 Nourish Me Magic Sprinkles

100% peanut butter and rolled oats are pantry staples in our house. This week I was thinking that it had been a while since I created a new breakfast recipe. I looked in the pantry for inspiration and the peanut butter and rolled outs jumped out at me. So I went to work creating a new ‘flavour’ muesli. I am happy to say this was a hit with our peanut butter loving family.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • handful sultanas
  • 100g butter (organic)
  • 1/2 cup 100% peanut butter*
  • 2 tblspns maple syrup*

* adjust the quantities of these ingredients to suit your families tastes. Next time, I’ll add a little more peanut butter for us.

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper
  2. Mix dry ingredients (except sultanas)
  3. Melt butter, peanut butter and maple syrup, stirring until the peanut butter has dissolved into the butter mixture
  4. Stir peanut butter maple mixture through dry ingredients, and stir until all ingredients are wet
  5. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the 1-2 baking trays*
  6. Cook for 8 minutes, then stir turning the mixture over
  7. Cook for another 8 minutes. Adjust the timing base on the level of goldeness your family prefers.
  8. Cool on tray
  9. Crumble / break up mixture with your hands
  10. Stir through the sultanas, then store per instructions.

* I line my trays with baking paper, then when the muesli is cool you can pick up the baking paper and use it like a funnel to tip it into your glass storage jar.

Freezing / Storing Instructions

Not suitable for freezing. Best stored in an airtight jar or container for up to 2 weeks.

Another 2 ways

  • Replace the sultanas with goji berries for a bit of colour
  • You can mix this with Chocolate Breakfast Puffs to make a combination breakfast.

Just a reminder, you don’t need to be a master chef, or have a big spotless kitchen to make awesome nutritious meals or snacks for your family.
