I saw a post for Elvis Granola over at Eat, Live, Run and the kids begged me to make it. We have just run out of our normal muesli so I thought I would give it a go - with some Thermomix and personal preference tweaking, of course! (We replaced some of the original ingredients with spelt flakes, rapadura, agave, coconut or macadamia oils, non-peanut-nut-butter, cacao, raw nuts, etc and added some coconut flakes, sultanas and cranberries along with slightly altering the name!)
1. Preheat oven to 135-140C.
2. Weigh into Thermomix bowl: 50g coconut/macadamia oil, 70g homemade nut butter (our recipe is based on this one from Quirky Cooking), 80-100g sweetener (we used 20g rapadura, 40g maple syrup, 30g agave nectar), 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp cinnamon. Cook 10 mins @ Varoma @ speed soft.
3. Add 400g spelt flakes, 150g seeds (we used 50g each of sunflower seeds, pepitas and chia seeds), 150g raw nuts (we used 50g each of almonds, walnuts and macadamias), 50g flaked coconut. Combine 5 mins @ 100C @ REV speed 2.
4. Spread onto lined baking trays and bake 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. After 20 minutes of baking, we added 200g organic sultanas and 100g dried cranberries (split over the trays) and a drizzle of agave.
6. Spread muesli mix out on Thermomat to cool completely. We added cacao nibs before storing in tightly sealed containers. (Well, that's not quite true - we had to have a bowl to try it out first... YUM!!)
"The King" at our house had a sample... his verdict? "Thank you, thank you very much...." :)
