Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quinoa flakes, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sliced almonds.
Stir in the whey protein powder, mixing it evenly through the dry ingredients.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet.
Toast the mixture in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Be cautious not to let it burn.
Remove the muesli base from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, transfer the toasted mixture back to a large mixing bowl.
Add in the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and desiccated coconut, mixing well to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the muesli.
Drizzle the honey over the mixture, then toss or stir thoroughly to coat the ingredients evenly.
Store the muesli in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Serve with milk, yogurt, or your preferred non-dairy alternative for a high-protein breakfast or snack.
