Muesli has become one of my favorite breakfasts. Each week I mix up a batch with all the ingredients and store it so we can grab it for breakfast at any time. If you love oats as much as we do, you will want to try these gluten free oatmeal breakfast bars too!

Grab a container and your favorite certified gluten free oats and mix-ins. If you are new to gluten free and are looking for more breakfast ideas, check out all of my delicious gluten free breakfast recipes.

You get to control all of the ingredients, and you can make it different every week! The most important tip is to make sure you use certified gluten free oats. Whole rolled oats can get easily cross-contaminated anywhere from the fields to how it is stored, so, please make sure your oats brand says "certified gluten free" on the package.

My favorite certified gluten free oats are:

  • Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • Quaker Certified Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • Nature's Path Gluten Free Oats

💭 Topping ideas:

  • Raisins, cranberries, and other dried fruits
  • Shredded unsweetened coconut
  • Seeds like chia and pumpkin
  • Fresh fruits
  • Freeze-dried fruits like chopped apple

Expert Tips Recipe FAQ:

Can you use quick oats?

You can use quick oats, but your muesli will be very mushy once you add in the milk or non-dairy milk.

Can you cook muesli?

You can cook muesli, but it really would be considered oatmeal if you cook it.

How long will muesli keep?

Muesli will keep in your pantry for a long time if you keep it in an air-tight sealed container. If you store it longer than a week or two, the nuts and seeds can get rancid. We usually make a week's worth at a time, which is what this recipe calls for.

Can you use non-dairy milk?

If you are dairy-free, you can easily substitute any type of milk with this muesli.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups certified gluten free whole rolled oats
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ⅓ cup pecans chopped
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix.
  • Put into a sealed air-tight container to store.
  • This should keep up to 2 weeks.
  • When you are ready to eat, just pour some in a bowl and add milk or non-dairy milk.

Notes

1. It is critical to use certified gluten free oats if you are Celiac. Cross-contamination runs high in regular oats.
2. You need to use whole rolled oats, not quick oats. Otherwise, your muesli will be very mushy.
3. You can substitute the mix-ins for anything you like!
4. This muesli will keep up to 10 days in an air-tight container.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
