Tips and Tricks
Can I toast the muesli after its mixed?
I haven’t tried it myself, but there are several toasted muesli recipes online. I would check them for what temperature to use and how long to bake the muesli in the oven.
Would quick-cooking oats work in this recipe?
You can use quick-cooking oats. Make sure you only microwave the muesli for 90 seconds at most or the oats will be too mushy.
How is this with cold milk in the summer?
I haven’t tried muesli with cold milk yet. I will update this once the weather is warmer, and I can let you know. If you have had this with cold milk, leave a comment and share your thoughts!
