Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
For the figs, bring the water and honey to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla seeds. Add the figs, stir and leave to infuse for 20 minutes.
For the muesli, boil the honey, oil and vanilla in a saucepan for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
