Summer breakfast can be difficult. You wake up hot and parched. The last thing on your mind is hot food. I find most shop bought cereals and whatnot are too sweet, too dull, or too eclectic. Making your own is not only easy, you can tune the recipe entirely to your personal  taste. The recipe I've given is merely a basis for quantity ratios and one of the healthiest sweetening and toasting methods I've come across. 

Recipe adapted very slightly from Bill Granger, who suggests serving with fresh raspberries and yogurt. Personally I prefer simply serving it with lots of ice cold milk.

The recipe given is enough for at least six generous servings, once toasted it can be stored in an airtight container where the quality will keep for at least one month.

• 300g rolled oats
• 125ml organic apple juice
• 1tablespoon sunflower oil
• 80g whole Almonds
• 125g sunflower seeds
• 40g pumpkin seeds
• 40g sesame seeds
• 30g dried  raw Coconut chips/shavings
• 125g dried fruits, I used a mix of blueberries and goji berries

Preheat the oven to 160°C 

Place all the ingredients, except for the dried fruit(s), in a roasting tray and stir well to combine.

Place in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and add the dried fruit, mixing well. Allow to cool completely before storing or serving.
