I've had vanilla bean paste on my mind today...and what do you know I forgot to add it to the recipe at the beginning (didn't see where I had to put it in until I was putting away all the ingredients and saw the jar waiting patiently for its turn to go in the bowl).
Tenina, is 2 Tablespoons really the right amount - or should it be 2 Teaspoons???
Anyhoo, even without the vanilla it tasted devine 5/5
-
tbsp is correct…knock your socks off for breakfast I say!
-
and my wallet :D
-
I made this today and only used 1 tbspn vanilla paste because of the cost of the jar - 2T would have been half the jar and at over $10 there was no way I was using half of it in a breakfast cereal ;) This is delicious and that is from just eating a spoonful of the dry mixture.
-
This is on my must do list.
DD would love it on her yoghurt for school.
Has someone posted here how to make vanilla paste?.....love the stuff too, but don't love the price :-\
-
Maddy, the girls were talking about a quick method the other day. JulieO found a link so if you start here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=320.7515) and have a read you will find all the information on that page and back 1.

Made this today for tomorrows breakfast! I think I've perfected my yoghurt and 2 eldest boys eat it!!! I've made it 3 days in a row, just 800mls at a time and lovely and thick.
This granuesli smelt beautiful. Will try with yoghurt in the morning.
-
Thanks Judy 8)
-
I totally agree, this is beautiful! I too only used 1 tbs vanilla bean paste, mainly because that was all that was left in my jar, but will continue to use that amount in future.
I ended up using just over 4 cups of the oats which weighed in at 450g and when putting it all together I decided to add the rest of the 170g pkt cranberries and more shredded coconut to make up for the more oats.
Absolutely loved this. 5/5
Just a sample

It looks lovely. About how much is a serving? I would be naughty and eat heaps. :'(
-
Cookie, don't ask such a question cos I don't want to know how many calories!!! Haha.
I'm so loving this.
-
I've just made this and plan to use some of it in Tenina's breakfast cookies. It is lovely. Everyone should be very happy to eat breakfast when it tastes like this.
-
I agree, this is lovely. My DH is on to me to make more. :D
-
Mine is still in a bowl on the cupboard and every time DH goes past he takes a handful. :D He asked if it wqas muesli so I said yes.
-
Made this today and totally agree with everyone this is superb. ;D
-
Made another batch of this today but used Jumbo Rolled Oats instead.This muesli is the best I have ever tasted and is very very addictive ;D
-
Made the granuesli tonight and added dried apricots and dried apples as I didn't have a lot of cranberries. Also added pecan nuts and used 2 tblsp of vanilla paste.
OMG!!! This is so delicious!
Thanks again Tenina.
Another wonderful recipe.

Made this last week and OMG it is beautiful. It is my new favourite breeky cereal. I added cranberries and dried apricots. I have had it every morning, about 2 handfuls with some milk or yoghurt. But it is disappearing very quickly, so will have to make another batch soon.
Thank you so much Tenina for the beautiful recipe.
-
So delicious! My partner likes Carman's cranberry cluster cereal but ran out today so I offered to make Tenina's. The smell while it was cooking was so good, that I couldn't resist and just had a small bowl for afternoon tea. Brilliant. I may even abandon porridge one day this week so that I can have a bowl. There may be a fight over the last serve!
-
The aroma whilst the oats were toasting, was divine!

absolutely scrummy....I used the 2 Tablespoons of vanilla paste, which I think is really worth while.
2 kids & hubby already had a bowl of it for dessert, and loved it......I think I might have to make my own vanilla paste now.
-
There was a discussion on here previously about making the paste. I wouldn't use 2T unless I could make the paste myself or I had shares in the company
-
I'm naughty and for this I do use 2 tablespoons. DD eats it in her yoghurt, I have it as muesli and DH eats it for a snack. We LOVE it.

Hi
I made a batch of Tenina's Cranberry and Almond Granuesli this morning and the kitchen smells amazing!!! I used vanilla extract rather than paste and it appears to have worked out just fine. I also blitzed my almonds a little longer than the recipe mainly for the kiddies benefit.
My family enjoy muesli and homemade yoghurt alot...so I know I am on a winner here :-)
It made stacks. I made 1.5 of these glass jars and they stand as tall as the TMX.

Made this last week and we loved it. The hard part was trying to keep the serving size small as I don't know exactly how calorie free it is! I also added some cocoa nibs I had which gave it a subtle chocolatey flavour. I'll definitely be making this one again.
-
Asha I made this last week as well it is yummy I used 2 tbps vanilla bean paste, I gave some away for Xmas and got very favorable reports back. I have had it for sweets of a night as well .
-
Ladies thanks for reminding me about this. We all love it. So many recipes and so few mealtimes. :)
-
We absolutely love this in our house. I use 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract and the kitchen smells divine when it is cooking. I like to put the final mix back in the hot oven turned off and leave overnight. The smell is awesome.
-
Thats a great idea Kimmy, just making a different kind of graneusli now for all my house guests…using orange juice and zest, choc chips, spelt and quinoa…awesome. Going to leave it in the oven to dry out like you suggest.
-
Scrummy yummy amazing devine...
Could really put anything in this mix, I didn't have a lot of cranberries so used dried apricots.
Taste tested with some vanilla ice cream yummy! Breakfast for dinner I think ;-)
-
Made this today - used honey instead of maple syrup (for the sake of economy!), and didn't have quite enough cranberries so added some sultanas. I used the 5 cups of oats, found I had to put it onto 2 oven trays. It seemed to take ages to crisp up, but after leaving it in the oven for quite a while longer than was suggested, I found after it cooled it crisped up a lot :-[ I used the 2 T of vanilla bean paste as I had made my own - http://tickofyum.webs.com/apps/blog/show/21122824-vanilla-bean-paste. This makes quite a lot which is great as I don't imagine it will go off except into mouths!!
-
I needed more breakfast cereal so made this again today.

We love this. DD takes some to work to nibble on and DH grabs handfuls during the day.
-
I love this too. I always have a batch made.
