One of Oscar’s favourite breakfast options is muesli. We make our own muesli as all of the commercially available ones contain at least one ingredient he can’t have. I make a large batch, about 8 cups, which lasts for months in an airtight container. Oscar loves this so much he will eat it dry, without milk.

Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats

Directions
| 1. | Toast the oats by placing them in a hot non-stick frying pan and stirring until they are golden brown. Allow to cool. For a sweeter muesli, or if you can’t use dried fruit, mix 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar with the oats before toasting them. You can also add 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil for a slightly different flavour. |
| 2. | Combine the oats with the remaining ingredients and store in an airtight container. |
Note
Low Salicylate / Low Chemical, High Amines if using dried paw paw or banana, Moderate Salicylates if using dried apple
