This grain free muesli is great for those busy mornings when you don’t have time to spend preparing a cooked breakfast. It has lots of proteins from the nuts and seeds and is packed with healthy fats.
What a great addition to your gluten-free breakfast recipes!
Most of my breakfasts, lately, have been eggs and some sort of protein, along with veggies. But sometimes, I really don’t feel like a hot breakfast, and I’ve had so many eggs that I need a break from them. That is where this grain-free muesli saves the day. (and my sanity!)
Traditionally, muesli is based on rolled oats. Since grain free one of my buzzwords for the month, I had to come up with something that was tasty and convenient without the grains and sugar that normally comes in muesli and granola recipes.
Breakfasts made in a bowl are very filling. Be sure to check out my Whole30 Apple and Coconut Breakfast bowl for another egg-free breakfast idea.
Let’s make some grain free muesli in just minutes!
The sky is the limit for what you can use in this recipe. I used almonds, macadamia nuts, and pecans, but if you like Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, and walnuts, go for it.
Just use the same amounts. There really is no right or wrong way to make a grain free muesli as long as you omit grains and sugar and substitute with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
The muesli is super quick and easy to make. All you need to do is toss the ingredients into a big bowl, give them a good stir and your breakfast muesli is ready to go with plenty of extras to use on other busy mornings.
This grain free muesli is free of added sugar and still has a sweetness that comes from the Medjool dates. (my favorite new snack!)
Ground flax seeds add a healthy dose of omega 3s as well as fiber, and help to make it easy on the stomach. 
Add fresh fruit for a bit of extra natural sweetness and add a splash of coconut milk, almond butter or coconut butter for some extra creaminess if you like your muesli moist.
The breakfast muesli keeps well for up to a month. I store mine in a large mason jar. This recipe is Paleo, Gluten-free, Whole30 compliant, and dairy-free for a healthy and tasty bowl of morning goodness.
