Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix (or a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened, optional)

Instructions

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice mix, and sea salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully integrated.

Add Creaminess (Optional): If you’re using Greek yogurt, fold it into the mixture at this point for added creaminess and protein.

Incorporate Nuts and Dried Fruits: Gently fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries (or raisins) to the oat mixture for added texture and flavor.

Divide into Jars: Spoon the muesli mixture evenly into mason jars or airtight containers. This recipe should fill about 2-4 jars, depending on their size.

Chill Overnight: Cover the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.

Serve: In the morning, you can enjoy the muesli cold straight from the jar, or warm it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Top with shredded coconut if desired and a drizzle of extra maple syrup for sweetness.

Garnish & Enjoy: Feel free to add fresh fruits like banana slices or apple wedges as a topping right before serving.
