Compared to sultanas, raisins and dates, most commonly found in commercial muesli, prunes have a low GI. They are also high in fibre and an excellent natural laxative for anyone who suffers from constipation. You'll rarely find prunes in commercial packs because prunes clump together unless they're cut up one at a time. For that reason it's unlikely I'll ever go into production with my favourite muesli recipe and so, for the greater good of all, I'm more than happy to share it with you.
This recipe is wheat free but not gluten free.
Pre heat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
Lay the coconut and almonds on separate baking trays and roast in the oven, turning regularly, until the coconut is slightly toasted and the almonds are evenly roasted (7 - 10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl combine the grains with the seeds. Using a pair of scissors, cut the prunes into small pieces and stir through one at a time to distribute the fruit evenly throughout. Toss the cooled coconut and almonds through and store in an airtight container.
Note : Flax seeds are a great source of naturally occurring phyto-oestrogens called lignans with proven benefits to include preventing against hormone related breast and prostate cancer and improving brain function, immunity, inflammation, and reducing LDL cholesterol.
