Description
A simple and wholesome homemade muesli recipe featuring toasted rolled oats, nuts, dried fruit, and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast served with milk or your favorite non-dairy milk substitute.
Ingredients
Muesli Mixture
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup nuts or seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup dried fruit
To Serve
- milk or non-dairy milk substitute
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for toasting the oats and nuts.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, aluminum foil (lightly oiled), or a silicon baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Spread and drizzle: Evenly spread the rolled oats and nuts over the prepared baking sheet, then drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture for sweetness.
- Toast the mixture: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast for about 10 minutes, or until the oats turn golden. Keep a close eye starting at 8 minutes to avoid burning the nuts.
- Cool the toasted mixture: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the oats and nuts to cool completely to room temperature.
- Prepare dried fruit: Chop any large pieces of dried fruit into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the cooled oat and nut mixture.
- Serve or store: Serve the muesli immediately with milk or a non-dairy milk substitute, either hot or cold. Alternatively, store the muesli in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Using aluminum foil requires lightly oiling it to prevent sticking.
- Check the oats and nuts frequently while toasting to avoid burning, especially after 8 minutes.
- Rolled oats can be swapped with old-fashioned oats, but avoid instant oats for this recipe.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.
