Homemade Muesli with Nuts and Seeds

I recently saw a bag of muesli for sale in a health food store for roughly ten dollars
for about two cups’ worth of product, which was mostly rolled oats. Depending on
the quantity of added nuts and dried fruits you decide to use, you can reduce this
cost dramatically by making your own muesli at home.

Once you have the required ingredients, you simply mix everything together and
throw it in an airtight container. Add milk or yogurt for a super quick and easy
breakfast!

Homemade Muesli with Nuts and Seeds

I recently saw a bag of muesli for sale in a health food store for roughly ten dollars

for about two cups’ worth of product, which was mostly rolled oats. Depending on

the quantity of added nuts and dried fruits you decide to use, you can reduce this

cost dramatically by making your own muesli at home.

Once you have the required ingredients, you simply mix everything together and

throw it in an airtight container. Add milk or yogurt for a super quick and easy

breakfast!

Ingredients

• 4 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup oat bran
• ½ cup wheat bran
• ½ cup puffed rice
• ½ cup dried raisins
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
• ¼ cup pecans (roughly chopped)
• ¼ cup cashews (roughly chopped)
• ¼ cup sunflower seeds
• ¼ cup pepitas
• ¼ cup hemp seeds
• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tsp brown sugar (optional)

Instructions 

• Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and combine well.
• When ready to use, mix roughly ½ cup of the prepared dry muesli mixture in a bowl with some milk, yogurt, and/or fresh fruits, and enjoy for breakfast or as a quick snack.
• Store in an airtight container for up to two months.

Notes

You can use whatever dried fruits, nuts, and/or seeds you like here. You can make simpler versions with even fewer ingredients if you prefer. I’ve also seen versions of this recipe that lightly toast the dried ingredients before mixing, which is a fun idea.
