Muesli Recipe

This homemade muesli recipe is one of my favorite cold cereals, and has been one of my go-to breakfasts for the last few months, next to this Vanilla Chia Pudding with fruit. It’s a no-fuss, gluten free muesli recipe that’s super easy and ready in under 5 minutes!

With the cooler months ahead it’s a perfect time to introduce a summer like oat breakfast cereal, leaving the hot oatmeal, like this Everyday Oatmeal, for cooler seasons. Bring on the muesli mix!

Once mixed, you have yourself a ready-made, healthy breakfast, or lunch if you will. When serving, I love the addition of fresh berries for freshness. If you feel the need to sweeten your cereal, add a teaspoon or so of maple syrup or coconut nectar over top before serving. For even more flavor, add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla powder over top, its delicious!

For storing, I use a large 1/2 gallon ball jar like these, or this one from Target, which is perfect for your large batch muesli mix. They have cup lines on the side so you can measure without having to use measuring cups. After your jar is filled, it’s pretty enough to keep on the kitchen counter!

Prep: 5min

Total: 20min

Yield: 7

Ingredients:

• 4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup raw sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup raw pepitas
• 1/4 cup raw chopped pecans
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup dried apricots, finely diced
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instruction:

1. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Combine the oats, almonds, pepitas, pecans, cinnamon, cardamom and sea salt on one large baking sheet (or divide evenly between two smaller baking sheets, see note below). Toss briefly to combine. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the nuts are fragrant.
3. Remove the baking sheet and give the mixture a good stir. Sprinkle the coconut flakes evenly over the top of the mixture. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly golden. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the mixture cool for at least 10 minutes.
4. Either in a mixing bowl or directly on the baking sheet, add the dried fruit and toss the mixture until everything is evenly combined.
5. Serve or store. Serve the muesli as desired and enjoy. Or let it cool completely to room temperature, then store in an airtight container for up 1 month.
