At Almo, our go-to breakfast on busy weekday mornings is muesli topped with fresh fruit and almond milk. It’s quick, easy and nutritious with plenty of low-GI carbohydrates to provide long-lasting energy. Plus, it’s so simple to make ahead of time, which means there’s no mess to clean up before running out the door.  

This muesli recipe is loaded with an abundance of fibre-rich fruits, roasted nuts and seeds to keep you feeling fuller for longer and a sprinkle of cinnamon to help stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the morning. The addition of Almo Crème provides a rich source of healthy fats and protein for a nutritious yet flavour-full breakfast.

In one serving, you’ll receive 80% of your daily anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids and 40% of your daily magnesium, an important mineral necessary for converting food into energy. It also packs 107 mg of plant-based calcium, which you can ramp up to 354mg (35% of RDI) with a serving of our fortified Almo Milk!

Tip: Swap the honey and dried peaches with blueberries and liquid stevia for a low sugar option.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup Almo crème
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 5 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup sliced dried peaches

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and line a baking tray with non-stick paper. 
  2. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients, excluding the fruit, until well combined. Add honey and coconut oil and rub into the mixture thoroughly with your fingers or a wooden spoon.
  3. Pour mixture onto the baking tray and spread out evenly to create one layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the almonds begin to toast. 
  4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle in raisins and dried peach slices while still warm. Press down onto mixture to allow clusters to form. 
  5. Allow muesli to cool completely before storing in an airtight container or glass jar. The muesli will keep fresh for up to one month in the pantry.
