Overnight Muesli

Overnight Muesli! Assemble at night for easy breakfast in the morning! Vegetarian or vegan and gluten-free.

Muesli is the champagne of oatmeal breakfasts. It’s way more fancy than those packets of instant oatmeal and slightly more elevated than regular overnight oats. It’s packed with shredded coconut, raisins, nuts and seeds; the perfect option for texture freaks like me. I hate traditional hot oatmeal but I love muesli.

To make weekday mornings go even smoother, I’ve been relying on this overnight muesli mix for the last few weeks. A quick scoop at night with a little milk, yogurt and maple syrup and breakfast is ready to go in the morning.

I know that making a bowl of muesli doesn’t take that much time, but every minute is precious in the morning. Getting all of the ingredients out of the fridge to assemble often seems like so much work; so much that I often find myself passing on breakfast for the sake of time.

Not with this muesli! Make, store in a container in the pantry, then put together at night. It’s really that simple.

For an extra-special bowl of muesli, I prefer to remove from the fridge and top with more yogurt, fresh fruit and a sprinkle of whatever seeds I can quickly get my hands on. That’s how I eat it on mornings when I have a little more time. It’s healthy, hearty and packed with both fiber and plant-based protein.

On extra-hectic mornings, I assemble everything at night in a mason jar (just like overnight oats) then grab and go on my way out the door. Hope you’ll try this one and if you do, let me know your favorite muesli toppings!
