Slow Cooker Muesli
This recipe came about at Peta's house over the the summer months. It was just too hot to have muesli toasting in the oven and she was looking for an alternative. The great thing about this method is that you don't have to watch it to avoid burning - it can just cook away with a quick stir every couple of hours. Depending on the size of your slow cooker you can also make a lot more in one go - great for larger families. The finished product is delicious and naturally less crunchy than toasted muesli.
