🛒 Ingredients

4 cups rolled oats
½ cup puffed or flaked wheat (or puffed rice)
½ cup puffed quinoa or amaranth
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup ground flaxseed (optional)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Optional add-ins at serving time:

Fresh fruit like bananas, apples, or berries
Chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans
Unsweetened plant milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
Vegan yogurt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, puffed wheat, puffed quinoa, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed (if using), and cinnamon. Stir until everything is well mixed.

2. Store it Fresh

Transfer your muesli to a large glass jar or airtight container. Keep it stored in a cool, dry place. It will stay fresh for up to 2 months.

3. How to Serve

Scoop about ½ to 1 cup of muesli into a bowl. Add your favorite plant milk or yogurt. Top with fresh fruit and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Serving Ideas

Hot: Warm your plant milk before pouring it over the muesli for a cozier bowl.
Cold: Let it soak in the fridge overnight for a softer texture like overnight oats.
On-the-go: Pre-portion in jars with milk and fruit to grab-and-go in the morning.

Tips

You can toast the oats and seeds in a dry pan or oven for a roasted flavor (just make sure to cool them before storing).
Use what you have—swap in other grains or seeds depending on what’s in your pantry.
Want a little sweetness? Add chopped dates or raisins just before serving (totally optional).
