Muesli pie is perfect for those days when you and your kids have to have breakfast on the run in the car on the way to school.

You can make it a few days before and then keep it in airtight containers in the fridge so you can just grab some when rushing out the door.

Muesli pie has a lot of fibre so it's essential you get your kids to drink lots of water for it to work effectively.
