Muesli

Looking for a wholesome, make-ahead breakfast form?

Muesli’s is the answer! It is a manual oat cereal, which began in Switzerland. Just add milk and perhaps some fresh fruit. It stores well in the freezer for over six months.

Not all mueslis are created inversely some are mellow and boredom. Not this bone! This nutritional Its form offers loads of texture and flavor. It features old-fashioned oats, nuts and seeds, voluntary coconut, and diced dried fruit.

Toasting the muesli in the roaster makes a world of difference. It brings out the savory, nutty flavors in the oats, nuts, and seeds and makes your kitchen smell lovely. The roaster’s heat also firms up the oats a bit, offering indeed further texture. It’s worth the trouble!
My other trick is adding a maple saccharine splash to the admixture before hitting. The subtle agreeableness mainly improves the flavor.

You presumably have everything you need to make muesli formerly, so let’s preheat the roaster and start mixing. Below, you’ll find numerous options for conforming the form to your closet.

Muesli’s a veritably flexible form, so check out the druthers offered below. The full form and educational videotape are further down the runner.

Old- Fashioned Rolled Oats
Oats form the backbone for all muesli fashions. Choose old-fashioned oats for the utmost chew. Hypothetically, quick-cuisine oats will work in this form but snappily turn to mush in milk.

Splintered Almonds

splintered almonds offer a brickle texture and roasted nut flavor. However, roughly hash whole almonds rather, If you don’t have splintered almonds in your closet.

Alternatives

Equal quantities of roughly diced pecans, walnuts, cashews, or whole pistachios. For nut-free, cover fresh pepitas or sunflower seeds.

Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
Unsweetened coconut (molted or tattered) offers redundant chewiness and coconut flavor. However, simply forget it, If you don’t like coconut.

Pepitas

Pepitas are green pumpkin seeds. They offer nice pops of green color and further warmish, “nutty” flavor. They’re nutritional, too!

Alternatives

Raw sunflower seeds or fresh diced nuts. You could substitute flaxseeds, though you’ll need to stir them into the visage half-through incinerating so they don’t burn.

Ground Cinnamon & Salt

Cinnamon offers some warming spice and swab brings out the stylish in the other constituents.

Alternatives: You can forget the cinnamon or cover other warming spices, like pumpkin spice mix, gusto, or half as important as nutmeg.

Maple Syrup (optional)

A touch of maple syrup offers some natural sweetness, making this more enticing. It also adds a subtle glimmer to the nuts, which is pretty. One to two tablespoons makes quite a difference in the final flavor.

Vanilla Extract
Vanilla is another component that, while technically voluntary, makes this  redundant nice and ambrosial!

Diced Dried Cranberries
Diced dried cranberries contribute little bursts of agreeableness and color.

Alternatives

Any dried fruit that isn’t too sticky will work nicely formerly diced. Try cherries or apricots. Or, substitute mini chocolate chips, cacao nibs or diced dark chocolate ( be sure the has cooled fully before adding). You can skip the dried fruit and add fresh fruit to your coliseum, like berries or thinly sliced apple or banana.
Hemp Hearts
Hemp hearts are sensitive to heat, so they’re stirred into the muesli’s after it cools. They ramp up the protein content and contribute magnesium, phosphorus, and factory- grounded omega- 3s. They don’t offer a lot of flavors, but they’re a veritably nutritional addition. You can forget the hemp hearts if you don’t have them.

Muesli Serving Suggestions

Serve with your milk or yogurt of choice. Dairy-free milks like cashew milk and pecan milk are succulent options. Enjoy it as-is or eclipse your coliseum with fresh fruit, similar as berries or sliced bananas.
Enjoy your right down for the utmost texture and chew. For a softer texture closer to classic Bircher or overnight oats, let the admixture soak in milk for at least 30 twinkles, or overnight in the refrigerator.
Muesli’s Storage
Store your muesli’s duly and it’ll last longer than a box of store- bought cereal! Once your muesli has cooled fully, transfer it to a freezer bag and squeeze the redundant air out before sealing it.
Muesli’s will keep at room temperature for about one month, but is stylish kept in the freezer for over to six months. You can use it straight from the freezer — no defrosting necessary. Since the dried fruit hardens in the freezer, let your coliseum of frozen muesli’s and milk rest for many twinkles before eating.
Always stir muesli’s well before serving, as the seeds and nuts tend to settle.
