Homemade Muesli Clusters – Crunchy & healthy on the go

Breakfast, of course the most important meal of the day. However, We don’t always have the time to eat in the mornings and we don’t eat. Most of us still love breakfast and when we make time, can be the best meal of the day. The Homemade Muesli Clusters is the meal-prep breakfast king. You the muesli clusters ahead of time and add it to a bowl with milk in the morning. You can even take it on the go.

Homemade Muesli Clusters are made with oats, flaxseeds and almonds which contain fibre, protein, fats and carbs. It’s everything you need to start your day when you add some milk in the morning. Most of these ingredients are already the right size, so no chopping and cutting is needed, only mix, bake and enjoy. Each serving only consists of 268 calories, so you will be sticking to your daily calorie intake much easier or reduce your current intake if that is your goal.

If you do add berries or other fruits and maybe protein powder, make sure to include it into your calorie count and change where needed.

This crunchy breakfast is the perfect for the person on the go and the health enthusiast. The Homemade Muesli Clusters packs the best breakfast punch you could ask for.

Ingredients

• 3 ½ cups Oats

• ½ tsp Salt

• ½ tsp Cinnamon

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

• ½ cup Olive oil (choose a mild flavour profile, or substitute avocado oil)

Method

• Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir well.
• Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet and press down with the back of the spoon to compact the mixture. Bake until lightly golden brown (about 21-24 minutes).
• Remove from the oven, and leave to cool completely undisturbed (this will ensure you get nice clusters). Once cooled, break the chunks apart and store in an airtight container.
