Breakfast: Muesli

Both my mother and my mother-in-law made a muesli very similar to this. My father-in-law eats it nearly every morning, so my mother-in-law makes it by bulk. I made my own mini-version this morning. It was pretty tasty, so maybe I'll start making it in bulk, too!


Breakfast Muesli
¾ cup wheat-free oats
2 Tbsp. sunflower seeds
2 Tbsp. raisins*
1 Tbsp. hemp hearts
1 Tbsp. chia seeds
1 Tbsp. ground flax seeds**


When it comes time to serve, add:
2 tsp. maple syrup
½ - ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)


* Ideally, your raisins should not be coated in any "bad" oils.
** Ground flax seeds will go bad very quickly so grind the seeds yourself in a coffee grinder and store them in the refrigerator. 

As you can imagine, you can add any variety of things to this muesli, to make it your own. Try pumpkin seeds, almonds, pecans, walnuts, shredded coconut, or other dried fruits like apricots or dates.
