Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Flax seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, pulse the almonds and walnuts until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want small pieces, not fine almond meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts with pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, and coconut flakes.
Add the dried cranberries, salt, and cinnamon to the mixture, stirring well to ensure even distribution.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it coats the dry ingredients evenly.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Spread the muesli mixture onto the prepared baking sheet evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Once the muesli is golden and fragrant, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Transfer the cooled muesli to an airtight container for storage. It will keep fresh for up to two weeks.
Serve with unsweetened almond milk or Greek yogurt for a delicious low carb breakfast. Enjoy!
