Muesli… the slightly lazy person’s (aka me) granola. Or so I thought. It has been quite some time since I made my ancient grains granola, but I could no longer put it off with all the summer fruits and berries ripening right now. I thought I was pretty crafty and would save myself some time by making muesli, but alas, all good things take time.
I haven’t been a huge fan of muesli in the past because it’s usually so bland. Taking the time to toast the nuts, seeds and grains really brings out the flavour and adding chopped up dates give it just the perfect sweetness. Absolutely delicious with yogurt (or chia pudding) and your favourite fruits or just a big ol’ bowl drowning in almond milk. 😉
Happy baking!
