This delicious homemade muesli recipe is easy to make and customize with your favorite blend of ingredients.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Muesli\"<\/p>\n

One of the things I remember noticing when we very first moved to Barcelona was the notable absence of granola on the shelves. And instead…boxes upon boxes of muesli! \u2661<\/p>\n

Over the years, Barclay and I have come to really love this healthier, oil-free, no-sugar-added alternative to granola. It’s rich in protein and nutrients, sweet but not overly sweet, and easy to customize with your favorite blend of oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and spices. Most of the brands of muesli that we find sold in stores here are completely raw, but we love toasting the oats, nuts and spices to bring out their best flavors and make the muesli extra crunchy (or “creusli”-style, as they say here.) And while muesli is definitely a bit of a change from granola, I’m telling you, this simple mix will grow on you quickly<\/em>. We now understand why Europeans love it so much!<\/p>\n

I also love that there are so many fun ways to eat muesli. You can serve it cereal-style (cold with milk), hot oatmeal-style (warmed with milk or water), overnight oats-style (soaked in milk or water or fruit juice overnight) or — my personal favorite — parfait-style (layered with Greek yogurt and fresh berries). Toppings are of course always welcome, such as fresh or frozen fruit, a spoonful of nut butter, or a handful of chocolate chips. And if you find that you’d like your bowl to be a bit sweeter, just add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top. Delish!<\/p>\n

So whether you’re new to muesli or you’ve been enjoying it for years, I thought I’d pop in today and share our family’s current favorite homemade muesli recipe with you. We’re always tinkering around with this recipe and adding whatever ingredients we happen to have on hand, but this is the basic idea…and it’s delicious!<\/p>\n
