This recipe was off the side of a packet of Weet-bix from years ago. I have always made my own muesli using a basic recipe that I sort of add or subtract from depending on what I have in the pantry.
I decided I would make this recipe and went and bought what I thought were dried apples. I didn’t actually write them on my shopping list and thought I knew exactly what I was going to buy and where I would find them in the grocery shop. A few days later I assembled all the ingredients to make this recipe and discovered as I read the recipe through I had bought dried banana slices and not apples. I went ahead and made it anyway using the dried banana and it still tasted quite nice.
It made a good batch that lasted more than a fortnight in this house as it is just me who eats it for breakfast and I don’t have it every day.
