Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl: Use a medium to large mixing bowl to combine your oats, dried fruit, seeds, and nuts before soaking.
  • Mason Jar or Container: Perfect for prepping individual servings of muesli — ideal for overnight soaking and grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons: Essential for accurate portioning of oats, milk, fruit, and toppings to ensure consistency and balanced nutrition.
  • Spoon: Use a spoon to stir your ingredients together and to serve your bowl once it's soaked and ready.
  • Airtight Storage Container (Optional): Great for storing a big batch of dry muesli mix so you can prep your breakfast quickly throughout the week.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Rolled oats, (uncooked)
  • 1/2 Cup Mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews) roughly chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Dried fruits (raisins, apricots, cranberries) chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flaxseed)
  • 1 Cup Fresh Fruits (apple, banana, berries) chopped
  • 1 Cup Yogurt or milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 Tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Combine the dry base:
    In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, seeds, and cinnamon.
  • Add sweetness and spices:
    Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the mixture and stir well to coat evenly. This step is optional but adds a lovely sweetness.
  • Mix in the dried fruits:
    Add the chopped dried fruits to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
  • Refrigerate overnight
    (optional): For a softer texture, you can soak your muesli mixture in yogurt or milk overnight in the fridge.
  • Serve:
    Scoop your muesli into a bowl and top with fresh fruits. Pour over your choice of milk or yogurt.
  • Garnish and enjoy:
    Add an extra sprinkle of nuts or a few fresh berries on top for that Instagram-worthy presentation!

Notes

🥄 Make-Ahead Tips

You can prep your dry muesli mix or your fully soaked bowls — whichever works best for your routine!
For Dry Muesli Mix:
  • Mix rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits in a large bowl.
  • Store in an airtight jar or container.
  • Portion out what you need daily and soak with milk or yogurt overnight (or even just 15–30 minutes before eating).
For Ready-to-Eat Overnight Muesli:
  • Add your muesli, milk, and toppings to a mason jar or meal prep container.
  • Stir well, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
  • By morning, it’s soft, creamy, and ready to grab and go!
✨ Bonus Tip: Prep 3–4 jars on Sunday night for an effortless, nutritious weekday breakfast lineup!

🧊 How to Store Muesli

Dry Muesli (Unsoaked):
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  • Stays fresh for up to 4 weeks.
  • Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Soaked Muesli (Ready to Eat):
  • Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container or jar.
  • Best enjoyed within 3–4 days.
  • Stir before eating and add fresh toppings (like fruit or yogurt) right before serving for best texture.
💡 Pro Tip: If using fresh fruit in your overnight mix, add it the night before or just before eating to avoid mushiness.
