Homemade muesli couldn't be any easier to assemble! Served with banana slices, berries, nuts, hemp seeds, and plant-milk of choice, it makes a quick, healthy weekday breakfast.
Layer the muesli ingredients in the jar, starting with the oats.
After all the ingredients are in, close the lid of the jar and roll the jar in your hands to mix and combine all the ingredients. That's it. You're done!
To Serve
Pour about ½ to 1 cup muesli in a bowl, and add your toppings of choice. My favorite combination is the one listed above, but you should feel free to use whatever topping you like!
Eat right away for a crunchy consistency or let sit 5 minutes for a more oatmeal-like consistency.
If you don't plan to add fresh or frozen fruit when you serve the muesli, you might want to add another sweetener, such as a drizzle of maple syrup.
This is just a base recipe. You should always start with the oats, but after that, feel free to change up the muesli ingredients. Try to go for variety: something to add crunch, something to add fat, something to texture.
Another great addition to muesli is dried fruit such as raisins, craisins, or goji berries.
When serving, I prefer to use frozen blueberries over fresh because they're cheaper and the berries are denser, creating a deeper and sweeter flavor. That said, I've used fresh blueberries before, and it still tastes great!
