What Is Muesli?

Muesli is a breakfast and brunch dish made from raw rolled oats, grains, fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts. It is then mixed with milk or yogurt. You do not need to cook muesli like you would oatmeal. 

The great thing about muesli is that there are endless ways to make and eat it. It is very versatile and with all kinds of fruit to add, you will never get bored of eating it.

My favourite bowls of fruit and muesli are topped fresh berries and a few slices of banana.

If you love that added crunch, add some almonds or pecans as I do.

You can also bake with it, mix it into pancakes, cookies or muffins.  Check out how to make breakfast muesli bars.

Making Soaked Muesli

Just add one cup of muesli to a medium sized bowl.  Next, add 2/3 cup of milk and soak 20 minutes. If you want the muesli to be tender, soak it for longer, or even overnight. Serve with fruit and additional toppings.

Eating Hot Muesli

Add 1/2 cup of muesli into  two bowls. Add 1/2 cup hot water (not boiling) to each bowl. Let steep for 3-5 minutes until liquid is absorbed and tender. Top with berries and seeds.
