Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried apples
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried figs
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Raw walnuts
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 medium Fresh apple
- 1 medium Fresh banana
- 2 cups Low-fat milk or plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried apples, dried apricots, and dried figs. Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut the dried fruits into small pieces for even distribution.
Roughly chop the raw almonds and walnuts, then add them to the bowl along with the pumpkin seeds and chia seeds.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the dry mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure the spices and seeds are evenly distributed.
Chop the fresh apple and banana into small, bite-sized pieces and mix them into the oat and nut mixture.
Pour the low-fat milk or plant-based milk over the top of the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.
If you prefer a slightly sweeter muesli, drizzle in the optional honey and mix well.
Allow the muesli to soak for at least 5 minutes or refrigerate overnight for best results, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and flavors to meld.
Serve in bowls with additional fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
