There are times when you want a rich, indulgent dessert and other times when you just want a sweet but healthy treat to finish off the night. This is a recipe for the latter situation!

Instead of pastry, this version uses mountain bread – a really thin, light wrap – which means that it’s not only much better for you, but also is much less fiddly to make, win:win! And don’t worry, it still looks and tastes like the real thing (and if you do want to make it a little more indulgent, you can always serve it with some ice cream!).

Ingredients (serves 2):
2 green apples, peeled and diced into 2cm pieces
1/4 cup sultanas
1 tbsp walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Extra virgin olive oil spray
2 Mountain Bread wraps (or other very thin wrap)
2 tsp honey
1 tsp icing sugar (optional)
Natural yoghurt or ice cream, to serve

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Place apple in a microwave safe bowl, cover with a plate and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir through sultanas, walnuts and cinnamon.
  • Place one sheet of Mountain Bread on a lined baking tray. Spray lightly with oil, then top with second sheet. Spoon apple mixture lengthwise down centre third and drizzle over honey.
  • Wrap the two long sides of the mountain bread over the apple mixture, then gently turn the strudel over so that the folded edge is underneath.
  • Spray top with olive oil spray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Sift over icing sugar, slice into as many pieces as you like and serve with yoghurt or ice cream.

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
