Homemade muesli: the balanced breakfast you will keep coming back to morning after morning
Homemade muesli is one of those preparations that conquer by its simplicity and by how good it feels from the first spoonful. Born in Switzerland more than a century ago as an energizing breakfast, today it is still a perfect choice for those who want to start the day with flavor and balance. A mix of oat flakes, nuts, seeds and sometimes dried fruit that you can adapt in seconds to your tastes and needs.
Preparing it at home has a clear advantage: you control the quality of the ingredients, avoid added sugars and get a fresh and personalized mix. It only takes a few minutes to prepare a large jar that will last for several breakfasts and will always be at hand in the pantry.
Why we like it
Homemade muesli combines the best of oats with the energy of nuts and, if you feel like it, the natural sweetness of dried fruit. It is satiating, balanced and highly customizable: it can be eaten with milk, yogurt or plant-based drink, hot or cold, depending on the moment. And the best part: you can vary it every week, adding chocolate, spices, grated coconut or any fresh fruit you have at home.
