Healthy Muesli

Cultural Context

Originating in Switzerland, muesli was created in the early 1900s by physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner as a healthy, raw breakfast option for patients. Traditionally, it combines oats, fruits, and nuts, promoting wholesome nutrition. Today, muesli has gained global popularity, often adapted with various toppings and flavors to suit diverse palates.

1

Start by putting rolled oats into a large mixing bowl.

2

Add seeds, dried fruit, and chopped nuts to the bowl – the types and quantity is up to you.

3

Consider adding nuts just before you eat a serving, since nuts go bad quickly.

4

Add whatever else you like – bran, rye, or wheat flakes; barley kernels; chocolate chips; coconut flakes; or mini marshmallows.

5

Mix everything together.

6

Store the muesli in a large, airtight container, like a glass jar with a lid, and store in the fridge.

7

It will stay fresh for up to two months.

8

Grab a handful for an on-the-go snack, put it in a bowl and add milk and fresh fruit, or use it as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or cottage cheese.
