Healthy & Delicious Breakfast Muesli
As a breakfast enthusiast I’ve always been a big fan of mueslis. I’ve tried a lot of different variations and made some from scratch. Lately, I’ve been finding myself doing a new batch every week, so I thought why not share my favourite breakfast muesli recipe. After all it’s very easy to make, doesn’t cost a lot and it’s absolutely delicious. Not to mention this breakfast muesli is high in fibre and will keep you full for longer.
Of course, you may use any and all kinds of nuts, dried berries, seeds etc. according to your preference.
After the muesli has cooled off and dried, you may easily store it in a glass jar. In the mornings I like to have my muesli with some natural yogurt or kefir. Add the muesli and then top it with some additional berries and chia seeds. Yum! Now that’s how you start a great day!

Ingredients
Method
- Heat a pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- When the butter has melted, add the oats and combine them with the butter. Let the oats toast for a few minutes.
- Now add the almonds and hazelnuts. Let the nuts and oats get a little golden brown, but be sure to keep stirring so they don’t burn or toast unevenly.
- When the oats and nuts look nicely golden, add a generous amount of honey for caramelisation and a dash of salt. Let the honey melt, stirring all the time. If you wish, now add the coconut flakes, dates and goji berries. Be very attentive at this point — honey burns really fast.
- When everything looks golden brown and the honey is just seconds away from burning, take the pan off the heat. You’ll know from the smell — it should smell very sweet. When the sugars in the honey start to burn, the scent turns bitter.
- Spread the muesli on parchment paper and let it cool. Depending on the level of caramelisation it will get crispy; I like it both ways — sometimes softer and slightly sticky, other times crispy with slight notes of bitterness.
