Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • ½ cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Toast the oats, nuts, and seeds: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the rolled oats, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and pumpkin seeds evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes until they become fragrant, stirring once or twice to ensure even toasting.
  2. Toast the coconut flakes: Scatter the unsweetened coconut flakes on the same baking sheet and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, carefully watching to ensure they turn lightly golden without burning. Remove from the oven and allow everything to cool to room temperature.
  3. Combine all ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled toasted oats, nuts, and seeds along with the chia seeds, ground flaxseed, dried cranberries, raisins, and ground cinnamon. Toss thoroughly so all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  4. Serve or store: Portion out a ½ cup serving and enjoy with your favorite yogurt, milk, or fresh fruit. For best texture, let the muesli soak in milk for at least 10 minutes to soften the chia and flax seeds. Transfer the remaining muesli to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to one month.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 12 servings of ½ cup each.
  • No sugar or sweetener is added, but you can add maple syrup, honey, or your preferred sweetener if you like it sweeter.
  • Shake the container before serving if chia and flax seeds settle to the bottom during storage to remix evenly.
  • Serving size is ½ cup.
