Healthy Muesli Recipe

• servings: 23 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)

1/2 cup almonds

1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/3 cup goji berries

1/3 cup coconut chips (or shredded coconut)

1/4 cup cranberries ( or barberries)

1/4 cup dried apricots (8-9 of them)

1 tsp ground cinnamon powder

Directions

Chop the almonds and apricots into smaller pieces.

For Raw Muesli:

All you need to do is mix the almond, apricots, and all of the remaining elements in a large bowl. Then move the mixture to a large, airtight container for storage.

For Toasted Muesli:

You can toast some or all of the elements within the blend. I prefer to only toast the nuts, seeds, and grains though. To do this, spread them in a single layer over a large baking tray and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 325ºF/160ºC, until lightly golden and aromatic.Nuts can take less time - 7-8 minutes, though I just chuck everything in together to save time and it always works well. Once toasted, allow to cool and then mix with the remaining ingredients.

How To Store

Homemade muesli cereal should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, for between 1-2 months. There’s no need to refrigerate the mixture unless you plan to blend/chop the nuts and seeds (this may also reduce the shelf life).If you decide to make a meal-prep batch of overnight oats style muesli, then these will last in the fridge for 5-6 days.
