Toasted Muesli
Description
This recipe calls for mixing rolled oats with hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, then toasting the mixture until fragrant and lightly colored. The toasted base is then combined with dried fruits such as golden and brown raisins, dried cranberries, dried apricots, and optionally sweetened shredded coconut. Once cooled, it is stored in an airtight container and can keep for up to a month.
The texture combines crunchy toasted nuts and seeds with chewy dried fruits, creating a variety of mouthfeels in each bite. The toasting step deepens the nutty notes and reduces moisture, extending shelf life. Serving options include layering the muesli with milk and probiotic yogurt in parfaits, topped with fresh or frozen fruits.
The parfait version can be assembled in advance and refrigerated overnight, though it is recommended to add fresh fruit just before serving to maintain its texture. Nutritional values vary based on additions such as milk and yogurt, which are not included in the basic muesli nutritional information.

Instructions
make the meusli
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix together in a large bowl the oats and all the nuts.
- Spread the mixture out on 2 baking sheets and toast for 12-15 minutes, until fragrant and just beginning to take on color. Give each pan a stir once during cooking.
- Remove from the oven and then, while still hot on the pan, toss with the dried fruits and coconut, if using.
- When completely cool, transfer to an airtight container. Your muesli will stay fresh in the pantry for a month.
to make muesli parfaits
- Spoon a layer of muesli on the bottom of your glass or jar.
- Add milk of your choice to the jar, just to cover the muesli.
- Add a layer of yogurt.
- Top with more fresh fruit and a garnish of chopped nuts or seeds.
- The parfaits can be covered and stored overnight, or eaten right away. If you choose to store them overnight I would add the fresh fruit topping just before serving.
