Instructions
- To make the muesli place the oats, bran flakes, almonds and chia seeds in a mixing bowl and stir together. Place the almond butter, honey and coconut oil in a separate microwave proof bowl or jug and warm for 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and stir well to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. Transfer to a plate or small baking tray. Spread the mixture out in an even layer and set aside for 30 minutes.
- To make the pears place the sugar and water in a pot. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the pears, cinnamon and cloves. Allow the pears to simmer gently for 15 - 20 minutes until tender. Remove from the sugar syrup and set aside to cool.
- Cut the pears into small bite-sized pieces. Place 2 tablespoons of pears into the bottom of each glass. Top with 60 ml of plain yoghurt then add 3 tablespoons of muesli on top. Divide the remaining pears between the glasses, then top with another 60 ml yoghurt and 3 tablespoons muesli. Serve immediately.
