There’s a reason Muesli is popular all over Europe.
There’s a reason Muesli is popular all over Europe.We can thank the Swiss for inventing the beloved Muesli, and there are so many ways to enjoy this healthy breakfast (or snack)! When our family moved to Spain, muesli was everywhere so I started eating it daily, and I’m officially obsessed. (I particularly love the original Bircher Muesli, which I’ll share a recipe for soon!)
The BEST thing about dry muesli is it has no added sugar, is naturally gluten-free and vegan (just use gluten-free oats). And although my Healthy Granola will always have a special place, I’m officially a Muesli enthusiast. It’s EASY and quick to make a big batch and stores well for months. Plus, it’s cheaper to make yourself.
Eat muesli with milk and a drizzle of honey (like you’d eat cereal), or sprinkled over yogurt, or soaked overnight in milk, for overnight oats.

How to make Muesli:
Combine: Pour oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds in a large sheet pan. Bake at 350°F for 6 minutes to lightly toast everything. Remove from oven and sprinkle coconut on top. Bake again for 2 more minutes. Allow muesli to cool completely before stirring in dried fruit.
Store or Serve: Enjoy as cereal with milk poured on top and a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or agave. You could also make overnight oats with milk and honey or enjoy sprinkled on yogurt.
Store your healthy muesli in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

I had muesli on a cruise once and it was so good! I’m excited about this recipe! What is the muesli to milk ratio if soaked overnight? Thank you!
So glad you’re excited to try this recipe! 😊 The muesli to milk ratio really depends on how thick or creamy you like it, but a good starting point is 1:1—so 1 cup of muesli to 1 cup of milk. If you prefer it thinner, you can add a little more milk, or if you want it thicker, reduce the milk slightly. You can also stir in some yogurt for extra creaminess.
