Perfect Muesli (High-Fiber)

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

Steps

1. 1

   Toast the oats, nuts, and seeds. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a rimmed baking sheet add the oats, almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds, and stir to combine. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until fragrant.

2. 2

   Toast the coconut. Sprinkle the coconut flakes on the baking sheet and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the coconut flakes are lightly golden. Let cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Mix everything together. Add the cooled oats and nuts to a large mixing bowl along with the chia seeds, flaxseed, dried cranberries, raisins, and cinnamon. Toss to combine.

4. 4

   Serve or store. Serve a ½ cup portion with your favorite yogurt, milk and/or fresh fruit. Pro tip: I recommend letting the muesli soak in milk for at least 10 minutes to soften the chia seeds and flaxseeds. Transfer the remaining muesli to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
