Crunchy Muesli Recipe
Kickstart your day with the perfect morning treat: homemade crunchy muesli. Much like crunchy granola, muesli is traditionally crafted from oats and can be enjoyed with milk, on yogurt, or as a delightful topping for fruit cups. What sets it apart is its absence of added sugar, ensuring a wholesome blend of delicious ingredients to set your day on the right track.

Notes
- One of the best things about muesli is that you can easily switch up the flavors. Adding spices such as ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can liven up the flavor. Try experimenting with your favorite spices and blends to find your favorite combination.
- Make it your own with smart swaps. Muesli can very easily be customized to your personal tastes. Sunflower seeds, chopped hazelnuts, dried diced apples, and banana chips all taste amazing. It's a great opportunity to try something new or use up pantry leftovers by giving them a whole new way to shine.
- If you prefer a sweet muesli, try a natural sweetener. While it's not traditionally sweet, a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a sprinkle of coconut sugar might be what you need. These natural sweeteners have a lower glycemic index than white sugar and can be an excellent addition when used in moderation.
