This Easy Homemade Muesli is about to become your go-to easy breakfast! Loaded with wholesome nutrients, super customizable, and naturally vegan. Enjoy this muesli cereal-style with a splash of nondairy milk, oatmeal-style by heating it up with some milk in the microwave or on the stovetop, or parfait-style with some yogurt and fresh fruit. Feel free to swap out the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit for other similar options as you wish!
*Note that From Start to Finish is an estimate that includes about 10 minutes for you to preheat your oven and prep your ingredients, 25 minutes to get through the first batch of baking, and 25 minutes to get through the second batch of baking.

Servings8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats - (also called "old fashioned oats")
  • ½ cup raw almonds - sliced
  • ¼ cup raw pecans - chopped
  • ¼ cup raw cashews - chopped
  • ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • teaspoon salt
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup dried coconut flakes
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup raisins

For serving:

  • Nondairy milk or nondairy yogurt
  • Sweetener of choice (maple syrup, agave, etc)
  • Additional toppings (fresh fruit, chocolate chips, etc)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine your oats, nuts, seeds, salt, and optional cinnamon in a large bowl. Scatter half the mixture onto the prepared baking tray (we will be toasting the muesli in two batches, so set the other half off to the side for now).
  • Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until everything is lightly toasted.
  • Remove from the oven, and carefully use a spatula or large spoon to give the oat mixture a mix. Sprinkle the dried coconut flakes on top and return to the oven. Bake until the coconut flakes are lightly toasted, this typically only takes about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to another large bowl. Scatter the second half of the mixture onto the baking tray, repeat steps 3-4 with this second half, let cool, and add to the large bowl to combine both batches. (If your mixture is still pretty warm, wait a few minutes longer before moving onto step 6).
  • Add the dried cranberries and raisins to the bowl and toss everything to combine.
  • Serve your muesli however you wish! You can enjoy it cereal-style with a bit of cold nondairy milk, oatmeal-style by adding a bit of nondairy milk and then heating the mixture on the stovetop or the microwave, or parfait-style with a bit of nondairy yogurt. You may also want to add sweetener of your choice (such as maple syrup) before digging in, or throw on some additional toppings (such as fresh fruit).
