Please say no, because I’ve patiently been waiting for fall to arrive, and for me, it’s close enough. I can’t contain my excitement any longer. Let’s get seasonal! I’ve made muesli bread before (serious yum) but have never gone about making it into a traditional cereal. I figured I at least owed you all that much, especially considering I’ve nearly exhausted all flavors of granola (story of my life). Muesli is similar to granola, only it’s typically unsweetened, includes no oil, and it’s raw. But for me, the idea of raw oats isn’t too appealing (unless they’re soaked overnight). So, I went for a light toast to add more flavor and crunch. This recipe comes together in 20 minutes and requires less than 10 ingredients. Plus, it’s healthy! With no added sugar or oil, it’s the perfect way to start your day with plenty of fiber, healthy fats, and protein (nearly 9 grams protein per 1/2 cup). The addition of dried fruit adds subtle sweetness, while pumpkin pie spice and pepitas infuse plenty of fall flavor. I can hardly contain myself with pumpkin pie spice. I’ll be putting it on everything from now until Christmas – not even kidding. If you try this recipe, let us know!
