This is one of my favourite recipes from my Thermomix cookbook miniseries super healthy. Maybe it's the beautiful photo?! Or maybe it's because this simple recipe makes a huge batch that can be kept in a big jar on the bench ready for speedy breakfasts or snacks on the go. I am all about batch cooking when time permits, and then reaping the rewards when times are busier! This recipe is also a real winner for anyone avoiding gluten, as muesli usually always relies on gluten-containing oats as the base ingredient.
