    Talking Best cereal for a runner

    Apart from porridge, what is the BEST cereal for a runner and what to sprinkle on top? Is MOO-SELI :wink:all it's cracked up to be or is it high in salt etc?

    I make my own granola and eat with yogurt. I know it's bad form but it's lovely. Always porridge on race day tho.
    What?

    What sort of "amount" do you make in one go? I found a link to an american "lady" who has a video of how and what to do.

    Love porridge but can't race on it, so have muesli instead. I chose a low sugar one & add loads of nuts & seeds & eat a small banana. Seems to do me ok

    Very simple here, either 3 weetabix with dark brown sugar or a decent sized portion of porridge with fruit and/or syrup

    I usually make enough to last a couple of weeks.

    2tbsp sunflower oil
    125ml maple syrup
    2tbsp honey
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    300g rolled oats
    50g sunflower seeds
    4tbsp sesame seeds
    50g pumpkin seeds
    100g flaked almonds
    100g dried berries (I buy a mixed raisins bag)
    50g desiccated coconut

    Turn oven to 150c.
    Mix together oil, syrup, honey and essence in bowl.
    Tip in rest, except berries and coconut, mix really well.
    Tip onto two large baking sheets and spread evenly and thinly. Bake for 15 mins
    Mix in berries and coconut, then bake for a further ten mins.
    Scrape onto a flat tray to cool.
    Store in airtight container for up to one month.

    K?

    What?
