Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried apples
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried apricots
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried figs
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Raw walnuts
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 medium Fresh apple
• 1 medium Fresh banana
• 2 cups Low-fat milk or plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried apples, dried apricots, and dried figs. Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut the dried fruits into small pieces for even distribution.

Step 2

Roughly chop the raw almonds and walnuts, then add them to the bowl along with the pumpkin seeds and chia seeds.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the dry mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure the spices and seeds are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Chop the fresh apple and banana into small, bite-sized pieces and mix them into the oat and nut mixture.

Step 5

Pour the low-fat milk or plant-based milk over the top of the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

If you prefer a slightly sweeter muesli, drizzle in the optional honey and mix well.

Step 7

Allow the muesli to soak for at least 5 minutes or refrigerate overnight for best results, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve in bowls with additional fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
