Recipe: Homemade Muesli

Muesli is basically uncooked granola. You wouldn’t think rolled oats would taste good raw, but when mixed with everything else they do. This would be good as overnight oats, too.

  • 5 cups rolled oats

  • 2 cups slivered almonds

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (I like the big shreds)

  • 1 cup raisins (I like a mix of regular and golden)

  • 1 cup Trader Joe’s high fiber cereal (adds crunch)

Mix everything in a big bowl and store in a zipper bag or sealed container. Feel free to skip the coconut or swap your favorite dried fruits and nuts.

 

This recipe is a tweak on the recipe in Good Food, Great Medicine, one of the few diet/nutrition books I trust.
