How to make gluten-free muesli
The muesli is super quick to prepare. It’s ready in just 5 minutes! How easy is that?
Toss all of the ingredients into a big bowl.
Stir well to ensure that everything is incorporated throughout the muesli.
That is all there is to it! In just minutes, you’ll have a healthy and delicious homemade muesli that is gluten-free.
Toppings for the gluten-free cereal
For even more natural sweetness, add some fresh fruit. Top with a splash of coconut milk, almond butter, or coconut butter for some extra creaminess if you like your muesli moist.
This grain-free muesli is free of added sugar but still has a nice sweetness that comes from the Medjool dates.
Ground flax seeds add a healthy dose of omega-3s as well as fiber, and are easy on the stomach.
Swapping out ingredients for your favorites
The sky is the limit for what you can use in this recipe. I used almonds, macadamia nuts, pecans, and dates, but the recipe is versatile. If your family likes Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, walnuts, and dried apricots, you can choose those in the same amounts.
There really is no right or wrong way to make a wheat-free muesli as long as you omit grains and sugar and substitute with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
The breakfast muesli keeps well for up to a month. A large mason jar is perfect.
This recipe is Paleo, Gluten-free, and makes a great Whole30 cereal. It’s a dairy-free, tasty bowl of morning goodness.
