Easy Bake Homemade Bran Rusks With Sunflower Seeds

The first cup of coffee or tea in the morning sets the mood of the day. Dunk in a couple of these crunchy bran and sunflower seed rusks and you are all set. Even my dear friend, Winnie The Pooh, might sacrifice a pot of honey for a few of these rusks.

These bran rusks contain sunflower seeds and coconut. You can get creative and add other nuts and seeds as well if you prefer.
