Homemade Muesli

Let’s face it, it is really difficult to find a good histamine friendly muesli. And for a really long time I was completely okay with that, but when I found some goat milk Greek yogurt, I started to crave a good muesli to eat along with it. So eventually I started making my own. Making your own has the clear advantage that you can control what goes in or not. So you can completely tailor it to fit your taste and tolerance level.

I never make this exactly the same, it all depends on what is in my cupboards at the time. And on top of that I don’t normally measure out the ingredients…. But this recipe is approximately what I do….

Preheat your oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Place the (gluten free) rolled oats, the macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, raisins, and dates in a food processor together with the extra virgin olive oil. And process it until, you have the texture you prefer. I like mine to be relatively fine. If you prefer it to be bigger pieces you can also just chop up the nuts, pumpkin seeds, and dates with a knife.

Transfer the mix to a baking tray, lined with grease proof parchment paper. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut and puffed quinoa. Bake the mix for about 5-10 minutes until the coconut just starts to brown. Keep an eye on it, because it can quickly burn. If you want you can also bake it for 4-6 minutes at 200 °C (390 °F), that makes it more crunchy.

Let it cool down completely before you transfer it to a storage container. I prefer not making a huge batch, and this portion lasts me about 4-5 meals. You can eat this with yogurt (plant based if need be), on top of a fruit salad, oatmeal etc. I also really like it on top of smoothie bowls. Enjoy 🙂

Notes

• If grain free -> replace by tiger nut flakes (not a nut, but a root vegetable. See resources below)
• If you don’t tolerate dried fruit of any kind -> replace with 1 tsp of honey or syrup of choice
• If grain free -> leave it out

If you are grain free and ant to make use of tiger nut flakes (not a nut, but a root vegetable ;)) instead of the rolled oats, but don’t really know where to get them here, I have compiled a list of link of where to get them in different parts of the world. I have included links from the Netherlands (where I live), the UK, and the US. If you live somewhere else, and need help finding a product online, please let me know and I will see if I can help you. no guarantees though, as there are also limits to my abilities, especially if it is in a language I don’t speak 😉
