Description

This homemade muesli recipe is a healthy, easy breakfast made with rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. A simple make-ahead cereal perfect with milk or yogurt.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups organic rolled oats or other grain, toasted if you like
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, or a mix
  • 1 cup toasted nuts - slivered almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds ( optional)
  • 2 tablespoons whole flax seeds ( optional)
  • 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut ( optional)
  • 1 cup dried fruit- cranberries, raisins, cherries, goji berries, raspberries, blueberries

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Store in a large 8-cup air-tight jar.
  3. Serve with plant-based milk ( warm or cold) or yogurt, fresh berries or fruit and a drizzle of honey or maple.

Notes

Keep this GF, by using gluten-free rolled oats or grains. To cut back further on calories, add less nuts and coconut. If you need to add a little honey to your morning muesli at first ( to make it more palatable)  just do it- you can gradually wean yourself off  of it.  Vanilla-flavored nut milks that are unsweetened work best for me.

Store up to one month in a sealed jar, or freeze after a month so nuts/ seeds do not go rancid.
