A quick and flexible muesli recipe featuring chewy rolled oats, toasted nuts, dried fruits, and a hint of cinnamon, perfect for a wholesome and energizing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 1 cup (120g) mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts), toasted
  • 1/4 cup (35g) sunflower seeds (optional but recommended), toasted
  • 1/2 cup (75g) dried fruits (raisins, chopped dates, or dried cranberries)
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk or dairy-free alternative (almond milk or oat milk recommended) per serving
  • 1/2 tsp (2ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the nuts and seeds: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add mixed nuts and sunflower seeds. Stir frequently for 5-7 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, toasted nuts and seeds, dried fruits, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Add sweetener and vanilla: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the mixture, then add vanilla extract if using. Mix well to coat oats and nuts lightly.
  4. Let it rest: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight, to soften oats and develop chewiness.
  5. Serve: Spoon muesli into bowls and pour milk or preferred dairy-free alternative over it.
  6. Optional toppings: Add fresh fruit slices (banana, berries) or a spoonful of yogurt for extra creaminess and nutrition.

Notes

Toast nuts and seeds carefully over moderate heat to avoid burning. Soaking oats overnight or at least 30 minutes improves chewiness and flavor melding. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to taste. Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free version. Optional toppings like fresh fruit or yogurt add creaminess and nutrition.
