Dry Ingredients:
Bulk measurements:
14 to 15 cups regular oats/42 ounces of oats
1 cup Chia seeds
1/2 cup whole flaxseed (opt)
4 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
3 to 4 cups dried fruit (raisins, or Craisins, etc.)
4 to 5 cups chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.)
Individual serving:
- 2/3-3/4 cup uncooked rolled oats
- 2 TB. unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2-3 TB. dried fruit (ie. craisins, raisins, chopped dates, etc.)
- 2 TB. raw unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 TB. whole chia seed
- 1 TB. ground flaxseed
- Optional: any other nuts you would like to add: almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.
Tip:
- Making a huge batch is really the best use of time, and it lasts for a while. But if I am doing individual servings, I like to make a week's worth and put them in sandwich bags or Tupperware. It makes for a very quick, easy and healthy breakfast!
Add-in Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups almond or coconut milk (or milk of your choice)per 1 cup dry muesli
- 1/2 - 1 banana, diced
- other fresh fruit (ie. berries, 1/2 diced apple, a peach, etc.)
- Use agave to sweeten if desired
Directions:
1. Soak your dry ingredients in your milk for at least 5 minutes. I like to soak mine for 15-20 minutes to get the oats a little softer. You can even soak your Muesli overnight in the fridge like the Swiss do. That's our favorite way.
2. Cut up your banana and any other fresh fruit into your Muesli and enjoy!
Overnight Wagner Muesli by Emily Wagner 2015
Dry Ingredients- Bulk
measurements:
- 14 to 15 cups regular oats/42 ounces of oats
- 1 cups Chia seeds
- 1/2 cup whole flaxseed (opt.)
- 4 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3 to 4 cups dried fruit (raisins,
Craisins, etc.)
- 4 to 5
cups chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.)
One serving is about 1 cup of dry
ingredients. So if you are making the muesli for more than one person, plan
accordingly.
Add-in
Ingredients per serving:
- 1.5 to 2 cups *almond, soy, or coconut milk
(or milk of your choice)
- 1/2 to 1 banana, diced
- Fresh fruit, diced (any kind of berries, 1/2 diced apple, a peach,
etc.)
- Use 1 tsp. agave to sweeten if desired (this is a friendly option for anyone with sugar level problems)
Directions:
- The night before you want to eat
your Muesli, pour your dry ingredients in a bowl or container that has a lid. (We
do 3 cups of dry ingredients for the 3 of us.)
- Add the desired amount of almond
milk and stir. You want it to be a soupy consistency when you put it in the
fridge so that the oats, flax and chia seeds can expand. Cover and soak
overnight in the fridge.
- In the morning, stir your Muesli
and add more milk if you would like it to be less dense. Add your banana and
berries (or other fruit). Enjoy!
Alternate Directions:
1. Soak your dry ingredients in your milk for at least 5 minutes.
I like to soak mine for 15-20 minutes to get the oats a little softer.
2. Cut up your banana and any other fresh fruit into your Muesli.
*Almond Milk has 50% more calcium than dairy milk and way
less fat calories. If you want to up the protein level, you can do half soy
milk and half almond milk.
