For the longest time, I couldn’t find the right sized muesli bar to fit in my sons’ snack and lunch boxes when we went out for adventures and kindergarten. They were always too big so I’d have to cut them up, or not square shaped to fit in compartments. After many trials and errors, I finally made a muesli bar that doesn’t crumble, isn’t sticky and can withstand a toddler’s grasp.

From Alice Nivens Cafe fame, this crumble is the bees kneez. I don’t know what makes it work, so I don’t dare change the process - you’re going to have to trust me when I say, par-bake it!

Rainy day granola (gluten free & accidentally vegan!)
Literally named ‘rainy day granola’ because it was a dark n’ stormy Sunday, thus I didn’t want to go out the shops for groceries! I made this just before the COVID-19 lockdowns began in Melbourne, but now that I have a newborn I can barely go out even though lockdowns have been lifted! I think it’s something delicious you can make at home quick & swiftly!

Wheat free honey granola
Every fortnight I normally find some time on a Sunday to make our granola stash for breakfast. However, during the recent Covid-19 lockdowns, I got sick of making three meals a day and started to buy store bought granola, which is a luxury that quickly started to add up. After trying many different granolas in the last few weeks though, I’ve made this one based on one my husband’s current favourites from The Source - but wheat free!

Since I started making my own sourdough loaves, I’ve tried not to throw out the starter discard every time I feed the starter. For a while I was making crumpets for my husband’s breakfast & it was exciting for a while but after months of it…well it was time for something new!
