Instructions
Muesli
- Preheat an oven to 170°c/150°c fan (338°f/302°f).
- Place the porridge oats, chopped pecans, flaked almonds, ginger & cinnamon into a large mixing bowl then mix to combine.
- Tip the mix out onto a baking tray then bake in the oven until everything is lightly toasted. This will take around 5-6 minutes. Make sure to stir the mix every couple of minutes.
- Let the oats, nuts & seeds cool completely then tip back into a mixing bowl.
- Next, add in the dried fruit, chopped chocolate & a pinch of salt then mix together. Transfer to an airtight container & store in a cool place.

Notes
1. Cooking In An Aga - To toast the oats, nuts & seeds in an Aga, use the bottom set of runners in the baking oven.
2. Porridge Oats - Old fashioned/rolled porridge oats work best for this recipe. I used wholemeal oats but regular ones will work as well.
3. Dried Fruit - Any dried fruit can be used for this muesli, so feel free to use what you like! I went with a mix of dried apricots, raisins, sultanas & cranberries. You'll need 150 grams in total. If you're using large pieces of fruit (like apricots), roughly chop them before adding to the muesli.
4. Storage - Kept in an airtight container & left in a cool, dry place, the muesli will keep for several weeks. Once soaked, the overnight muesli will keep for several days, stored in the fridge.
