    I have been making this now for several years. Much better than some bought ones with added sugar and dried milk. Extras can be added to suit personal taste.

    I have just finished my first batch of this delicious muesli, and will be making a second. Have it every morning topped with blueberries - delicious!

    Hi! Im not sure i get the recipe. Are you meant to add the milk when you are about to eat it, like at breakfast time, or when you prepare thw whole lot? If you prepare the whole lot and then add the milk, how will it keep for two months? I think im missing something. Will someone please explain? Thanks Sana

    Add the milk just before you are going to eat it.

    I have made muesli before and used crumbled-up Weetabix. Gives a very nice texture. Also adding lecithin is very beneficial for lowering cholesterol I have heard.

    Try adding grape nuts, and using fruit juice (apple or cranbury) instead of milk.

    A good recipe which is tasty as it is or it can easily be tweaked to include your favourite dried fruit (I like dried cranberries), nuts (I like some flaked almonds) and seeds (I like sunflower seeds).

    Made this last night and just had it for breakfast! It's lovely. Very nice with almond milk. Definitely won't be lasting 18 bowlfuls though, I reckon about 9!

    Try the Swiss way of eating muesli. Instead of soaking it in milk just add 75ml or so of orange juice to the dry mix, let stand for 30 mins, grate a fresh cox apple to it and serve with yoghurt and honey. Much better than boring old milk!!!
