Homemade Crunchy Muesli with Fruit and Yogurt

Making your own crunchy muesli bowl for breakfast is so easy! Simple ingredients combine with little effort to serve with your favorite fruit and yogurt for breakfast.

Muesli and yogurt is a popular breakfast option for those who are looking for a healthy and tasty meal to start their day. You can have everything in one bowl, and enjoy it too: protein, fiber, and vitamins!

Muesli is super easy to put together at home. I like to make mine in batches so I have some in my pantry all the time! All you need to do is combine rolled oats, olive oil, honey, almonds, cinnamon, and vanilla and lightly bake. Then, combine it with yogurt and fruits for the perfect crunchy muesli breakfast!

Key Ingredients:

Rolled oats: These fiber-rich grains provide a satisfying crunch and a great source of energy.

Olive oil: Olive oil is heart healthy and adds a nutty flavor to the homemade muesli.

Honey: Honey is a great natural sweetener to use if you don’t want added sugars in a recipe. It is rich in antioxidants and minerals.

Almonds: These protein-packed nuts provide a satisfying crunch and a rich flavor to this muesli breakfast bowl.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a comforting flavor to the muesli cereal and pairs well with the fruit. It’s a great spice to use on any sweet breakfast!

Vanilla: Vanilla adds a light and sweet flavor to the baked muesli, giving a depth of flavor when combined with the other ingredients.

Nectarines: These juicy stone fruits provide a sweet and tangy flavor combining with the yogurt and muesli.

Cherries: Sweet and tart cherries add a burst of flavor and color. They’re loaded with antioxidants!

Strawberries: These sweet and juicy berries provide a refreshing flavor to this crunchy homemade muesli breakfast.

Raspberries: Raspberries are tart and fresh, best used in the summer when they’re seasonal.

Greek yogurt: Creamy and tangy Greek yogurt is a great source of protein. It’s a common breakfast ingredient that I love to incorporate all the time!
