This recipe has become a pregnancy favourite. Although, I can’t really say that it’s just the pregnancy, since my husband is also loving it, and I liked it before I got pregnant as well… So yes. Basically, this is just a favourite, and has been more easily found in my fridge since I got pregnant.
I–love–this–so much. For a while I was just making it, and it kind of turned out differently every time. However, I recently decided to create an actual “Recipe” for this so that I would get more consistent results. I also wanted to do that so that I could share it with other people. Hence, this post!
Often when I think of muesli, I think of the dry oat/fruit mixture you can get in the store, which quite frankly I never knew what to do with. But then I went to Austria – where the fluffy, yogurt, creamy magic made me realize what muesli could be! And here we are; with a recipe that I’ve been making on my own as often as I can get an excuse (which right now is very often, since pregnancy is a really good excuse). This recipe is quick, no-fuss, and ready for days in just a few minutes.
Easy Breakfast Muesli
My favourite breakfast at the moment - lots of fruit, yogurt, oats, and seeds. This recipe is easy to adapt with different fruits or nuts, and it can be kept for about 3 days in the fridge - making mornings extra delicious, and super simple.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 banana peeled and sliced
- 1 large apple washed and chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir to coat everything in yogurt, cover, and refrigerate. Best served after it has been allowed to sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour (although you can eat it immediately if you like). Keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
- After this muesli has sat overnight, the fruit juices and whey in the yogurt will naturally begin to separate. When this happens, just stir it all back in! The texture and consistency only seems to get better.
- Try mixing it up if you like! Try adding different nuts or fruits that you have available.
- One delicious addition is a bit of unsweetened whipped cream. Whip about 1/2 cup of heavy cream and add it to this recipe... it becomes a thick, fluffy mousse-like texture. Might as well be dessert.
YUM. Annnnd… On that note, I think I’ll go make some right now. I wish I had peaches and blueberries.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Let me know if you make it! Also, if you change it (using different fruit or whatever), I wanna know how you’ve changed it! You can share your pictures or comments on Facebook @naomicakes or Instagram @naomicakesofficial. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Back soon,
Naomi
