My Notes :
  • The baking at the last step is purely optional but I do this for extra crispness and this will also make the muesli stay crisp for longer – Tip from Prathiba
  • Store it in an airtight container for the crispness to stay longer.
  • Muesli is totally flexible, you can just have the cup measurement in mind and add in any nuts and dry fruits of your choice.
  • Add milk preferably cold but if you like it hot, then go ahead.

    This looks great !!! There was a mention of homemade museli in your yogurt granola recipe which made me search for the homemade version !

    One query, apart from baking in the oven , are you aware of any other way to make it more crisp? We have a microwave oven, but the oven features are no match for the actual oven 🙂

    Thanks ! 🙂

    Hi Sharmi,
    Thanks for sharing the recipe. I tried it yesterday and it tasted great! A couple of things I wasn't satisfied with though–the oats tended to form little balls which I had to keep breaking at various stages. Even then, the end product has little clusters bound together by the syrup, not separate flakes. Any idea why this could be? Or is just Bombay's humid summer? Because the entire batch has now taken the shape of the container is is kept in.
    Also, I think I'll be using a little less butter next time–it's the strongest aroma in my muesli.

      I can understand your problem…I faced this issue during my first few trials and found that the problem is when honey is not mixed properly with oats,it tends to stick with oats forming small balls, so stir well in between too while baking, this will sure solve the problem.

    Hi. I want to ask whether you have used normal cooking oats (like saffola / kellogs / quaker)or rolled oats which are thicker in size? Because I could not get rolled oats anywhere and most muesli recipes use rolled oats.
