Step 1
Start by putting rolled oats, the basis of most muesli, into a large mixing bowl. Add seeds, dried fruit, and chopped nuts – the types and quantity is up to you.
-
Consider adding nuts just before you eat a serving, since nuts go bad quickly.
-
Step 2
Add whatever else you like – bran, rye, or wheat flakes; barley kernels; chocolate chips; coconut flakes; or mini marshmallows. Mix everything together.
-
Step 3
Store the muesli in a large, airtight container, like a glass jar with a lid, and store in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to two months.
-
Step 4
Grab a handful for an on-the-go snack, put it in a bowl and add milk and fresh fruit, or use it as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or cottage cheese. Or invent your own favorite way to eat muesli.

Muesli was introduced around 1900 by a Swiss physician for his hospital patients.
