Cranberry & Almond Granuesli - For Foods Sake, p23

[CreamPuff63]

I've had vanilla bean paste on my mind today...and what do you know I forgot to add it to the recipe at the beginning (didn't see where I had to put it in until I was putting away all the ingredients and saw the jar waiting patiently for its turn to go in the  bowl).

Tenina, is 2 Tablespoons really the right amount - or should it be 2 Teaspoons???

Anyhoo, even without the vanilla it tasted devine   5/5

[Tenina]

tbsp is correct…knock your socks off for breakfast I say!

I made this today and only used 1 tbspn vanilla paste because of the cost of the jar - 2T would have been half the jar and at over $10 there was no way I was using half of it in a breakfast cereal   This is delicious and that is from just eating a spoonful of the dry mixture.

This is on my must do list.
DD would love it on her yoghurt for school.
Has someone posted here how to make vanilla paste?.....love the stuff too, but don't love the price

Maddy, the girls were talking about a quick method the other day.  JulieO found a link so if you start here and have a read you will find all the information on that page and back 1.

Made this today for tomorrows breakfast! I think I've perfected my yoghurt and 2 eldest boys eat it!!! I've made it 3 days in a row, just 800mls at a time and lovely and thick.
This granuesli smelt beautiful. Will try with yoghurt in the morning.

Thanks Judy

I totally agree, this is beautiful!  I too only used 1 tbs vanilla bean paste, mainly because that was all that was left in my jar, but will continue to use that amount in future.
I ended up using just over 4 cups of the oats which weighed in at 450g and when putting it all together I decided to add the rest of the 170g pkt cranberries and more shredded coconut to make up for the more oats.

Absolutely loved this. 5/5

Just a sample

It looks lovely. About how much is a serving? I would be naughty and eat heaps.

Cookie, don't ask such a question cos I don't want to know how many calories!!! Haha.
I'm so loving this.

I've just made this and plan to use some of it in Tenina's breakfast cookies. It is lovely. Everyone should be very happy to eat breakfast when it tastes like this.

[JulieO]

I agree, this is lovely.  My DH is on to me to make more.

Mine is still in a bowl on the cupboard and every time DH goes past he takes a handful.  He asked if it wqas muesli so I said yes.
