Homemade muesli, without sugar, but still sweet

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 350 g oat flakes
• 150 g sunflower seeds
• 100 g desiccated coconut
• 100 g nuts, ground
• 150 g sesame seeds
• 170 g flaxseed
• 2 bananas, ripe
• 30 dates or other dried fruit such as cranberries, prunes, etc.
• ½ tsp salt
• e.g. water, hot

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 2 hours 15 minutes

Mix the oats, sunflower seeds, desiccated coconut, ground nuts, sesame seeds, and flax seeds thoroughly. Chop the dates (or other dried fruit) and add them to the mixture along with the salt. Puree the bananas in a blender and add a little water; don’t add it all at once, so it doesn’t become too runny. You’ll need to work with caution here. Now add the pureed bananas to the nut mixture. The muesli shouldn’t be too mushy, but also not too dry, as it will now be roasted in the oven for about an hour at about 160-170 degrees Celsius. Depending on the humidity and personal taste, it may take a little longer. Turn the muesli several times during baking to remove the moisture. The muesli will keep for several weeks (if it’s thoroughly dried and no longer contains any moisture). If you don’t have sunflower seeds or other ingredients at home, you can use whatever you have on hand. You really have a lot of flexibility here. The sweetness comes from the addition of the bananas and the coconut flakes. If you like, you can also add some honey or agave syrup to the bananas.
