The best homemade toasted muesli

This is the recipe for my original healthy homemade toasted muesli.

I’m always looking to improve my recipes, especially in ways that make them even healthier.

In the latest update I’ve added more nuts and decreased the dried fruit a little bit.

Helpful tips for making this toasted muesli

  • This muesli has plenty of oats, nuts and seeds, so you can totally leave out the dried fruit if you’d like it to be more “low carb.”
  • Add the dried fruit in the last 10 minutes of the cooking time, so it doesn’t burn. Same with coconut flakes, they’re best added at the end too.
  • It’s great to play around and tweak the recipe each time with different nut blends, seeds or dried fruits, for different flavour combos.
  • The oats can also be left out for a gluten-free version. Or swap them for quinoa flakes, puffed rice, millet, etc.

 

Even though there’s some dried fruit in this toasted muesli, I love to add fresh fruit on top as well when I’m adding it to my breakfast bowl.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3-4 tbsp mixed seeds eg. pumpkin, sesame, sunflower
  • 1 cup mixed raw nuts
  • ½ cup your favourite dried fruit**
  • 3-4 tbsp shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 140-160℃ and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Combine the rolled oats, seeds, nuts and coconut in a large bowl.
  • Gently warm the honey/maple syrup, tahini and coconut oil in a saucepan until smooth and runny. Pour into the bowl and mix to thoroughly coat the dry ingredients.
  • Spread the mixture evenly onto the baking tray and cook for 15-20 minutes. Baking time may be longer or shorter, depending on your oven and you must watch closely so it doesn't burn!
  • Once cooled, add the muesli back into the large bowl and mix in the dried fruits.

Notes

When completely cool, store in an airtight container.
I like to use goji berries and dried papaya.
I find that spice such as cinnamon can clump or settle at the bottom of the jar or container, so just add it freshly to each bowl or serving of muesli.
