If you’re after a healthy, homemade muesli than grab your slow cooker babe and make my Slow Cooker Orange & Almond Muesli.
This one is SO EASY and tastes a million bucks. The orange caramelises the muesli and gives it a great smell. It’s a 10/10 in my families books.
Plus, making it in your slow cooker is the BOMB, because, it can’t burn, literally can’t! The key is so to use my tea towel hack and then once the muesli is done, you let it cool in the cooker and it goes all crispy and amazing!
Some fresh oranges, this the real deal remember. Healthy muesli with real orange zest and juice!
Mix it altogether, and give it a taste. You may want to break the rules and add some cinnamon too, I often do!
Into the slow cooker it goes. Look at the colour difference of it before it’s cooked and then…
After!
Amazing, right!
So crispy and yum. You’ll also love the hack of leaving the lid off and letting the muesli cool, 100% before storing in a airtight jar, because all that wonderful smell of the cooked oranges will go all through your house and make you feel like a rockstar! That and the kids will love it and probably go at the muesli, in the slow cooker, with a spoon! Mine do.
One of my favourite ways to use my slow cooker, is to cook a healthy muesli recipe in it. I make this slow cooker muesli with almonds and oranges, it’s GREAT and so healthy! Think granola, only easier!!!
Ingredients
UnitsScale
1/4cupalmond meal
1/2cupalmonds
3cupsoats
1 organic orange zested and juiced
1/2cupmacadamia (coconut or avocado oil)
1/3cupmaple syrup
Pinch salt
Instructions
STEP 1: Turn your cooker high and pop the lid on. This will help it heat up as you make the muesli in a mixing bowl.
STEP 2: Now stir the muesli ingredients in a separate bowl and pop it into your cooker.
STEP 3: Turn it high for 2 hours and pop a tea towel under the lid to catch any condensation. Stir it every 30-mins or so if you are home. If your lid is a very tight pressure cooker, leave it off and cook it longer; otherwise, the muesli will not crisp up.
STEP 4: When the time is done, it’ll have lovely colour. Turn your cooker off and leave it to cool completely with the lid off. It will brown up even further. And this is when it will crisp up.
STEP 5: Don’t pop it into a container until it’s completely cool. You’ll be amazed that as it cools in the slow cooker, how much it crisps up.
Notes
GF: Sub the oats for quinoa flakes
Add extra protein: Add 1 tbsp protein powder to the wet mix
