Description
This simple homemade muesli recipe is ready in just 10 minutes and makes a nutritious, fiber-rich breakfast. Unlike granola, this Swiss-inspired cereal requires no baking and can be customized with your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits for a healthy start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick-cooking)
- 1/2 cup raw nuts, roughly chopped (almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts)
- 1/4 cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, or flax seeds)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, apricots, or dates) – optional
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or hemp hearts – optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon over the mixture and stir thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- If using dried fruits, add them to the mixture and stir again. Some prefer to add dried fruits only when serving to maintain optimal texture.
- Transfer your muesli mix to an airtight container for storage.
- To serve Swiss-style: Soak overnight in milk or yogurt and grate a fresh apple into it just before eating.
- For quick serving: Simply top with cold milk or yogurt and fresh fruit.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months or in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. For a toasted version with nuttier flavor, lightly toast the oats, nuts, and seeds in a dry skillet before mixing.
