Blueberry & Maple Nut Toasted Muesli


Ingredients
3 cups oats
1/2 cup macadamia nuts
1/2 cup hazelnuts
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup almonds
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy milk
1 Tbsp non dairy butter
1 tsp vanilla
4 pitted dates
1/2 cup dried apple, roughly chopped
1/2 cup dried blueberry
2 dates, pitted and roughly chopped

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Roughly chop the nuts. On two lined baking trays evenly spread the oats and the nuts, and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
In a saucepan over a high heat combine the maple syrup, sugar, oil, milk, butter, vanilla and 4 dates. When the mixture starts to bubble, and the liquids combine, turn the heat down. Heat, stirring constantly, incorporating the dates into the syrup. When the syrup is smooth, pour over each tray, and toss the oats until they are all coated in the mixture.
Place in the oven and bake, tossing the oats every ten minutes so that the muesli cooks evenly. Remove from the oven after about half an hour, when the oats are golden in colour. Allow to cool on the baking trays.
When the oats have cooled, stir through the apple, blueberry and remaining dates. Store in an airtight container.
