Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
½ cup shredded coconut , unsweetened
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
4 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
⅔ cup raisins
½ cup walnuts , chopped
3 tablespoons cacao nibs
4 cups soy milk or yogurt (of your choice, amount varies based on preference)

Instructions

Mix and Toast Muesli

Preheat oven to 350 °F.
In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, shredded coconut, maple syrup, ground cinnamon and walnuts (if using raw walnuts).
2 cups rolled oats, ½ cup shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ cup walnuts
Prep a baking tray by covering it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Spread the oat mixture in an even layer across your baking tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, tossing around at the halfway point (after 6 minutes).
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Once cooled, place back into the large mixing bowl with poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, walnuts (if not already in the oatmeal mixture) and cacao nibs.
2 tablespoons poppy seeds, 4 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, ⅔ cup raisins, ½ cup walnuts, 3 tablespoons cacao nibs
Transfer this mixture into an airtight container or jar to store. It’ll last in your cupboard for up to 2-3 weeks.

Prep Bircher Muesli

To prep a single portion of Bircher muesli, take ½ cup of the muesli into a jar and add ½ cup of plant-based milk or vegan yogurt. Mix well, place lid on jar and allow to sit in fridge overnight.
4 cups soy milk or yogurt
In the morning, enjoy the muesli cold or heated (in microwave or stove-top) for a warm breakfast.

Notes

If you don’t want to toast the muesli, simply leave out the maple syrup and mix remaining ingredients together in a jar. Muesli needs to be cooked if adding maple syrup.
