Ingredients

• 300 grams whole wheat flour
• 50 grams rolled oats
• 100 grams mixed dried fruit (e.g., raisins, apricots, apples)
• 50 grams mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts)
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 6 tablespoons water
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 200 milliliters almond milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0 additional flour for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Chop the mixed dried fruits and nuts into small pieces. Add them to the flour mixture, stirring to evenly distribute the fruit and nuts.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the thickened flax egg, maple syrup, almond milk, and olive oil.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a bun and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 20 minutes.

Step 11

Bake the muesli buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
