Do you want to know a secret? One that patients at Hutt Hospital in the lower North Island have been whispering about? One that has been sort-of-secret for over 30 years?!

Thanks to the power of social media, the secret is out – the much sought after recipe for Hutt Hospital’s delicious muesli breakfast mix is here (and you don’t have to be a patient to give it a try!).

Hutt Hospital muesli

Ingredients

For 10 servings

• 340g rolled oats
• 70g coconut
• 40g branflakes
• 50g pumpkin seeds
• 65ml oil
• 65g brown sugar
• 100g liquid honey
• 100g sultanas

Method

Mix the first four ingredients together.
Heat oil, brown sugar and honey in the microwave till sugar dissolves.
Pour over dry ingredients, mix thoroughly and spread in a roasting tray.
Dry out in oven (120-150 degrees) for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned.
Add sultanas and mix through (use any other dried fruit if desired).
