What I love most about homemade muesli is how customizable it is. Whether you prefer dried cranberries, raisins, apricots or dates, pistachios instead of walnuts, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, every batch can be completely different.
It’s perfect for meal prep too. Make one batch and enjoy delicious breakfasts all week with yogurt, milk or your favourite plant-based alternative.
