Baked Muesli

This is a great recipe to make ahead of time. Shop bought muesli is often high in sugar due to the dried fruit content and added sugar. This low sugar version will keep your blood sugar stable and you full until lunch. It contains pumpkin seeds which are a good source of B vitamins, omega 3 fats and zinc, important for fertility, particularly sperm health. You can enjoy it with Greek or natural yogurt, a dairy free alternative, or milk of your choice. Add some berries to up your antioxidants; raspberries, blueberries and blackberries go particularly well.
