Muesli is a nutritious and delicious breakfast cereal.

Many years ago, I was served muesli at a beautiful bed and breakfast. I enjoyed it so much, I was inspired to make my own combo of the delicious cereal. Now, it’s a staple in our kitchen. After trying it, I’m sure it will become a staple in yours too!

How to serve your Muesli

Muesli is wonderful when served in a bowl with milk or yogurt and fresh berries or sliced fruit.

How to store your Muesli

Store muesli in an airtight container. Store at room temperature, in the fridge or freezer.

On-the-go brekkie

If you want a great grab-and-go breakfast, mix your muesli with milk the night before and place it in an airtight container. The next morning, snag a spoon, your muesli and head out the door with a healthy, quick and easy breakfast!

Instructions

Muesli Mix: (make ahead)

  1. In a large bowl combine and mix dried fruit, nuts, and seeds. If necessary, chop almonds in a food processor prior to mixing. Store muesli in an airtight container. Store at room temperature or in the fridge.

When Serving: (cold, hot or with yogurt)

  1. When serving, combine 1/4 cup of the muesli mix with 1/4 cup oats.
  2. Have it cold: For cold cereal, add 1/4 cup muesli to 1/2 cup of milk in a large bowl. Allow muesli to stand for 8-10 minutes to soften the oats before eating OR place in the fridge overnight and eat in the morning.
  3. Have it hot: For hot cereal, add 1/4 cup muesli to 1/2 cup of water or milk in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 1-3 minutes, depending on intensity of your microwave. Stir after 1 minute and microwave an additional 1-2 minutes, if necessary.
  4. Have it with yogurt: If serving with yogurt, add 1/4 cup muesli to 1/2 cup of yogurt in a large bowl. Allow muesli to stand for 8-10 minutes to soften the oats before eating OR place in the fridge overnight and eat in the morning.

Optional Toppings:
