I’ve been increasingly concerned about the sugar levels in store-bought muesli, plus I usually just stick to porridge at this time of year, anyway. But I had tried some delicious (but expensive) artisan muesli and decided the time had finally come for me to try making my own. I was delighted by how easy it was. This recipe has a great mix of sweet and salty, plus the addition of one of my favourite spices, cardamom. In a jar with a ribbon around it I’d be thrilled to get something like this as a gift. And, as always, you can sub in or out ingredients to your liking.
